Taksim is an underground rapid transit complex. It is located in central Beyoğlu under Taksim Square in Istanbul.[1] The complex is serviced by the M2 line of the Istanbul Metro and the Kabataş-Taksim Funicular (F1) line. Taksim was opened on 16 September 2000 as the southern terminus of the M2 until the line was extended to Yenikapı in 2014.[2] On 29 June 2006 the Kabataş-Taksim funicular station was opened, offering shuttle service to Kabataş.[3] Taksim is the busiest station on the M2 Line as well as the Istanbul Metro. Connections to Havabüs express bus service to Sabiha Gökçen Airport are available.[4][5]
