What is the role of railroad transportation in export of Turkey?
Railroad
transportation is still the least preferred mode of transport in
Turkey. From the point of value, it is transported only %2 of Turkey’s
export. In the first years of the republic, it placed great importance
on the railroad transportation but after then this interest is decreased
and rather than it is concentrated on overland transportation.
Insufficient level of railroad substructure is the major reason for not
being at the desired level of railroad transportation.
