    we appreciate the informative video about the Istanbul canal project. However, we noticed a few mistakes that we would like to point out. Firstly, the Suez Canal is not actually 200km long but is still quite significant. Secondly, we want to clarify that Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey, it's actually Ankara. Lastly, it's important to consider the potential environmental risks that could come with such a large-scale excavation project. Despite these points, we are grateful for the opportunity to learn more about Istanbul's future development plans. Thank you RealLifeLore!

      This and all other "Build-operate-transfer
      " projects made under AKP government have been primarily about shoveling public money into few private companies (all Erdoğan's allies). No project made in this arrangement provides any profit to the public coffers, on the contrary, they get payments each and every month from the treasury.
      One example to this is the Avrasya Tunnel connecting two sides of İstanbul from the south. It's a good tunnel except it costs too much to use and costs way way more if we don't use it. Because the deal is there needs to be certain quota met each month and treasury covers the difference if that quota is not met. Since its opening in 2016, that quota of use was met only one month. That's it. And this is one of the better projects made under this arrangement, there are far worse ones out there.

      It is. The reason they want to do this project is not because they care about the public.
      The reasons why the government wanted this project:
      1- Being richer by building the canal and the city around it. That is corruption,
      2-Vanity,
      3-In addition, the man at the head of the government sees himself as the sultan. He probably has something like a god complex.
      Such a channel is completely meaningless when there is a natural strait next to it. The Suez Canal saves ships from circumnavigating the African continent, which is about 10 days less travel. Kanal Istanbul does not have such a function because there is a natural strait right next to it. They say that Kanal Istanbul will reduce the ship traffic in the Bosphorus, but the ship traffic in the Bosphorus has been decreasing since 2008. This is because larger ships are being built. Apart from that, they claim that with the construction of the canal, the danger in the strait will decrease. Because a ship had hit a mansion before. However, there is a problem here: They will build cities on both sides of Canal Istanbul. Moreover, the widest part of Kanal Istanbul is narrower than the narrowest part of the channel, the deepest part of Kanal Istanbul is shallower than the shallowest part of the Bosphorus, and Kanal Istanbul is longer than the Bosphorus. Other arguments are that Kanal Istanbul will increase revenue. They talk as if the ships passing through the strait don't pay. This is not true. Every ship that passes through the strait pays. If this money was to be raised, they would have to resort to international laws for this. However, they do not have the political power to do this, and that is not their main purpose.
      In short, the government knows that all this is not true. But like any dictator, they want to continue to rule. For this, they need to please interest groups (those who commit corruption and much more).

    I think it could work since wait times are really important in shipping bussiness. If the cargo gets to late the loss could be expenontial sometimes so people decide to give toll money instead of waiting.Although this needs to be measured like how long the wait will be,how much the loss will be and to make a profit how much you need to put toll money.
    But again this is just a way Erdodan to get his pockets full. Neutrality is the most important thing in my opinion also transport over the bridges is just a nightmare for the citizens. So it comepletely expected to be both military and citizens oppose the idea.

    One more thing that I would have added to this video is that, Istanbul is located in a very geologically active location so in the event of a large earthquake (which experts say that will be above magnitude7), everybody who lives in European Istanbul would be stuck and they would not be able to escape the densely packed city. On top of that, this new canal will travel through kilometers of forest which would danger the lives of many native and endangered species. It also has the added risk of introducing invasive marine species to the inland sea of Marmara from the black sea or vice versa because the strong currents of the Bosporus straight blocks this naturally.
    Edit: New polls suggest that on the general elections in 2023, it looks highly likely that Erdogan might not get re-elected and I feel like the entire reason on why this insane project is going ahead is because he wants to leave a final mark, a permanent signature, before he is stripped away from all of his power.
