Departure Procedure and Sounds

For every stop a pre-recorded female voice announces the name of the station. The same voice also warns for the closing of the doors: "Dikkat! Kapilar kapanacak [ring]" in Turkish (which means "Attention! The doors will be closed").





Archaeology


Exhibits in stations:
  • Cankaya: displays some Corinthian columns, which were found during metro construction. Some other artefacts were transferred to the Archeological Museum.
