This line is the oldest underground metro line in continental Europe, and the second in the world after London (debatably third in the world, counting Brooklyn, New York's abandoned Atlantic Avenue Tunnel). The Tünel is 573 m long by an altitude difference of 60 m without any intermediate stations between Karaköy and Tünel Square. It has been continuously in service since 1875. Two trains run on a single rail every 3.5 minutes and, a trip takes 1.5 minutes. 15,000 people are being transported daily.
