Brief History of IETT
Public transportation in the city of Istanbul has commenced in August 30,
1869, with the agreement relating to "The Tramway in Dersaadet and Its Facilities".
The operation of the first horse driven tramcar has started in 4 lines in
1871. In the same year, the construction of the Tünel has started and the
Tünel has started operating on January 12, 1875. Shift to electricity tramcar
took place on February 2, 1914 and starting from June 8, 1928, tramcar operation
was effective on the Anatolian side.
The tramcar, Tünel, bus and electricity establishments, which were being
operated by various foreign companies, were nationalized in 1939 and in
the same year, with the law set on June 16 numbered 3645, they have gained
their current status under the name of the Directorate General of IETT Establishments.
In 1945, Yedikule and Kurbaðalýdere gas plants and the Ýstanbul and Anadolu
gas distribution systems fed by these plants were taken over.
As a result of the amendment in the TEK (Turkish Establishment of Electricity)
law dated September 9, 1982, numbered 2705, all electricity services, along
with their rights and responsibilities, were granted to TEKB. It was decided
with a topic in the Metropolitan Municipalities law dated July 9, 1984,
numbered 3030, that the juridical personality of the Directorate General
of IETT Establishments protected by special law would endure and Beyoðlu
Gas Production and Distribution Facilities would be acquired by IETT, in
scope of the same law. In June 1993, in compliance with the orders of the
Metropolitan Municipality, town gas production and distribution activities
have been withdrawn.
