Galatasaray Sports Club Chairman Burak Elmas visited Metro Istanbul

Burak Elmas, Chairman of Galatasaray Sports Club, visited Metro Istanbul, one of the affiliates of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), and met with General Manager Ozgur Soy.

Galatasaray Sports Club Chairman Burak Elmas, Board Members Ozan Sener and Selim Sefada visited Metro Istanbul Seyrantepe Compound before the new football season. Welcoming the Galatasaray Sports Club Executives, Metro Istanbul General Manager Ozgur Soy and Deputy General Manager Hakan Orhun shared information about the improvement works regarding the transportation to the stadium.

“We organise the departure times according to the match hours”

Expressing that they are happy to host the administrators of Galatasaray Sports Club, General Manager Ozgur Soy said, “The most important transportation alternative for the spectators coming to the stadium is metro. However, Seyrantepe Station has some limitations as we have a facility that was planned only as a warehouse area and later converted into a station. We work with Galatasaray Sports Club Administrators to speed up the transportation to the stadium and increase the comfort of the passengers on match days. Because of the work, we have done now; we can complete the eviction of the stadium by getting all the spectators on the metro within 54 minutes after the match. When our work is completed, we will increase our carrying capacity by 33 percent and reduce this time to 40 minutes. As a result of these arrangements, the need for transfer at Sanayi Mahallesi Station will also be eliminated. Chairman Burak Elmas and esteemed club managers made examinations at our Seyrantepe facilities, discussed the transportation issue in all its dimensions, and started a fruitful cooperation on measures that will increase the comfort and enjoyment of the match day.

Metro Istanbul Deputy General Manager for Operations, Hakan Orhun, made a presentation on their work for the comfortable departure of passengers after the match.
