==History==
The rapid transit system for [[Adana]] was initiated in 1988 after requests from the mayor [[Aytaç Durak]] and the [[Çukurova University]] rector Mithat Özsan to the Ministry of Transportation. A feasibility report was completed on May 30, 1990, by the consortium of PMBI A.Ş. and Brinckerkoff Int.Inc. The report was approved by the State Planning Agency and the construction of the rapid transit system was included in the 1993 investment program. In 1996, the project was contracted to Adtranz-Alarko-ABB Electric Consortium for $US 340 million.<ref name="metrosu">{{cite web | url = http://www.adana.bel.tr/rayli-sistem-projesi-sayfa.html | title =Metro Raylı Taşıma Sistemi – Adana Raylı Taşıma Sistemi (Turkish)|author=– Adana Metrosu |publisher= Adana Büyükşehir Belediyesi [Adana Metropolitan Municipality] |language=tr accessdate|trans-title=Metro Rail Transit System – Adana Rail Transit System – Adana Metro |access-date=2014-06-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130329085911/http://www.adana.bel.tr/rayli-sistem-projesi-sayfa.html |archive-date=2013-03-29 }}</ref>▼
 
To accommodate the new residential developments along the project route and to better integrate northern and southern Adana, the Adana Metropolitan Municipality decided to make an amendment to the project plan by extending the line to southern Adana. The southernmost point of the initial project had been the D-400 state road. Amendments were approved by State Planning Agency in 1999 and the construction of the metro started on January 28, January 1999.▼

Unexpected costs increases during the construction of the Metro led to the need for extra funding for the project. Metropolitan Municipality made a request to State Planning Agency for new funding, but the request was declined. As a result, construction of the Metro stopped in 2002. After 6 years, the Municipality was able to get approval for new funding of $US 194.2 million and construction resumed in 2008.

It then heads to the west of the Kocavezir Commercial Center and the Hürriyet Police Station until it reaches the [[Seyhan River]]. Crossing the river just north of the Regülatör Bridge, the line heads north, again crossing the D-400 state road and ends next to Yüreğir Bus Terminal.▼
