A banner for AKP's Istanbul candidate Murat Kurum resulted in the suspension of services on the T1 Kabataş-Bağcılar Tram line after it was hung over the route. According to a new statement from Metro Istanbul, it was announced that “Our services have returned to normal.”

The statements are as follows:

“Due to a banner that was hung on the Galata Bridge along our T1 Kabataş-Bağcılar Tram Line despite warnings becoming entangled in the catenary (power) line, our services were being operated between the Kabataş-Karaköy and Eminönü-Bağcılar stations.”
