		Istanbul, however, is pressing ahead with the construction of the 75-kilometer, or 45-mile, rail system, which will connect the city's European and Asian halves through a tunnel that runs beneath the Bosporus Straits.
		City officials say the $2.6 billion project, known as the Marmaray, is desperately needed to ease congestion in a metropolis of 10 million.
