The Marmaray commuter railway runs in a tunnel beneath the Bosphorus between Sirkeci on the European side and Üsküdar on the Asian side, as part of a long line from Halkalı to Gebze. It is a quick way to cross continents and connects with the metro at Yenikapı and Üsküdar, and with long-distance trains at Halkalı and Pendik.
