Narrative
This tramway runs down Istiklal Caddesi, the most popular thoroughfare of Istanbul. It begins in Taksim, and ends about 1 km down the street at Tünel, where passengers may connect to a similar tramway that runs underground to Karaköy. While Istanbul now also has modern tramways and a subway for mass transportation, this one is a nostalgic reconstruction.
