Türkiye targets major high-speed rail expansion
Türkiye plans to increase the number of provinces directly connected by high-speed rail from 11 to 27 by 2028, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu has said.
“By 2053, we will connect all corners of our country with high-speed rail lines and be able to travel across Türkiye within 48 hours,” Uraloğlu said.
He noted that $355 billion has been invested in the transportation and infrastructure sector over the past 24 years.
Uraloğlu added that railways have been treated as a state policy, particularly with the initiatives launched in 2002.
