	Istanbul - Wikitravel
		Istanbul's population is variously estimated between 11 and 15 million people, making it also one of the largest cities in Europe and the world.
		Istanbul (as Constantinople) was the capital of Turkey until the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, when the capital was transferred to Ankara.
		Istanbul is divided in three by the north-south Bosphorus Strait, the dividing line between Europe and Asia, the Golden Horn (Haliç) bisecting the western part and the Sea of Marmara (Marmara Denizi) forming a boundary to the south.

	Istanbul Getting Around Information - Turkey, Europe Provided By Columbus Travel Guides
		Bus, metro, ferry and tram tickets are cheap and usually available near the main stops, either from a kiosk, all main bus and metro stops and ferry terminals or a private seller, who adds about 25% to the price.
		Istanbul is home to bad traffic jams and worse driving, while Turkey has 14 times more accidents than the UK — driving is thus not recommended to tourists.
		With a little improvement since larger fines and better enforcement of road rules, indicators are still rarely used, drivers almost never stop at pedestrian crossings and tailgating is standard, with racing along the coastal strip on the Asian side leading to deaths despite a government campaign.

		Already in operation is the first phase of Istanbul's new Metro, which is being developed by ABB Traction in partnership with Turkish construction contractor Yapi Merkezi.
		Unlike the usual turnkey project team, the ABB-Yapi Merkezi team for the Istanbul Metro is structured as what ABB project director Lennart Gunnarsson describes as an "open consortium," instead of a joint venture arrangement.
		The initial phase was completed in such a short time, he says, because only two principal companies were involved in the work, making resolution of project issues relatively easy, and because ABB had a much fuller responsibility for total functioning of the system than would have been the case with a conventional procurement.
