Transport and Infrastructure Minister Adil Karaismailoğlu responded to questions from CNN Türk’s Fulya Öztürk.
The highlights of Minister Karaismailoğlu’s statements are as follows:
I love driving, I use a lot. My life has passed on the roads.
ISTANBUL TRAFFIC
Istanbul is a very special city in the world. When I started working in Istanbul in 1995, there were 1 million vehicles, now there are 4.5 million vehicles. Traffic patterns are discussed to cause traffic problems. It was being discussed in 1990. When investments were made after 1995, the traffic stopped. There are variable models. There is work to be done in Istanbul. The remaining subways must be completed, intersections must be completed, and signage must be improved. The active team should work there. It is necessary to work to establish and develop the infrastructure well.
KANAL ISTANBUL
It is necessary to design the needs of the next 100 years. Trade comes from the sea, ship volumes have increased considerably, and investments in ships and ports are increasing. The current trade volume of the world is 12 billion tons. Is increasing. The Bosphorus can’t handle this. It is a waterway that we will do. There is nothing that breaks the ecosystem. It is a huge project, preparations continue, we have advanced technically. There are legal regulations. We are working on the financial model. In 2021, there will be important news regarding Kanal Istanbul.
ROAD BRIDGE RATES
This is actually a financial model. We assess salary heights. We discuss them, we look at satisfaction. Rates can be discussed, we are observing them all.
ALSO PASSPORT
There was no result, but it is being discussed in Europe. What vaccine will they accept, what will it cover. It is spoken, it is not clear. There is a big problem in Europe. Biontech’s production is also limited.
FULFILLED PROJECTS
The projects that we have carried out with our own resources come out of the public’s pocket again. These projects are projects that will be at the service of the public. 50 thousand vehicles pass through the Eurasian tunnel a day. Had it not been for Eurasia, they would have crossed on July 15 or the FSM bridge. When we look at the cost of time and fuel, these projects are very valuable. These projects will eventually be left to the state.
