Istanbul gets europe's first major monorail

Istanbul is already home to more than 10 different kinds of public transport, but the latest – a 47km monorail known as the Havaray – is set to carry some 200,000 passengers per day high above the bustling streets.

The Havaray will be Europe's first major monorail system and should help Istanbul to transport its citizens more easily, avoiding the queues completely by travelling above them. The monorail is also tipped to have bring other benefits to the city, claims Director of Universal21, Adil Yaman, whose company
has two developments within the city.

"Istanbul's new monorail is set to bring a host of benefits to this cosmopolitan city. As well as reducing congestion, we anticipate a property investment boom as investors look to be part of this thriving and dynamic metropolis. Istanbul is already an exciting investment prospect and the Havaray will make it even more so."
