Yenikapı Transfer Center (Turkish: Yenikapı Aktarma Merkezi), referred to as Yenikapı, is an underground transportation complex in Istanbul. It is located in south-central Fatih in the neighborhood of Yenikapı, hence the name of the hub. The complex is right next to the, indefinitely closed, Yenikapı railway station and a short walk away from the Yenikapı Ferry Terminal and İDO ferry service. Yenikapı complex links two stations of Istanbul Metro to a railway station of the Turkish State Railways on the trans-Bosphorus Marmaray tunnel. Yenikapı is the largest rapid transit station in Turkey.
Construction of the Marmaray project started at Yenikapı in May 2004. The new Yenikapı station site was chosen to be just north of the existing railway station and would be built underground as part of the trans-Bosphorus tunnel. Yenikapı was expected to be completed in December 2009 but due to archaeological findings at the construction site delayed the project by four years. In 2008 plans to extend the M2 and the M1 lines south were finalized and Yenikapı was chosen as the southern terminus. Construction of the M2's southern extension started in January 2009 with the Golden Horn Metro Bridge across the Golden Horn. The project was expected to open in August 2010, but due to delays it wasn't opened until 2014. The Marmaray section was the first part of the complex to open, entering service on 29 October 2013. The M2 section opened on 15 February 2014, followed by the M1 section on 9 November 2014.
The M1 platform is the newest part of the Yenikapı complex, completed in November 2014. It is the eastern terminal station for the M1 line and has two side platforms serviced by two tracks. M1A service departs from track 1 to Atatürk Havalimanı (Atatürk Airport) while M1B service departs from track 2 to Kirazlı.
