4-HOUR LONG DISTRESS
In the incident where there were no injuries, officials set up barriers in front of the escalators to conduct an investigation. Due to the malfunction that could not be resolved for about 4 hours, there was congestion at the station exit.
"I WILL TAKE THE METROBÜS, I AM IN DOUBT"
Necip Uğurlu, who exited the metro, said, "If they can't fix the simplest escalator, I can't imagine what they can do for bigger services. Metrobuses are constantly having accidents. I will take the metrobüs to go to Çağlayan. I am in doubt. I hope we arrive without having an accident. Istanbul has been abandoned to its fate, there is no service, and citizens are left to fend for themselves. We are living our own fate ourselves," he said.
