The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality held a tender for the construction of a monorail line (Havaray), between the districts of Sefaköy and Başakşehir on the European side to relieve the city’s heavy traffic. The monorail line will be 15 kilometres long and is estimated to start commercial service in 2019.
The project planned to pass through the districts of Küçükçekmece and Başakşehir will have 17 stops and will be integrated with other railway systems in these districts. The results of the tender for which six companies made bids will be announced after the tender files are reviewed.
Once completed, Havaray will have 30 monorail vehicles and will be integrated into other rail systems in Istanbul. It will connect to the Kirazlı-Halkalı metro line at the Halkalı Merkez station, to the Yenikapı-İncirli-Sefaköy-Beylikdüzü metro line at the Sefaköy station and the Mahmutbey-Bahçeşehir-Esenyurt metro line at the Arena Park station and to the Otogar-Bağcılar-Başakşehir metro line at the Başakşehir Konutları metro station.
