Çekmeköy is an underground station on the M5 line of the Istanbul Metro in Çekmeköy.[1] The station is located on Şile Highway in the Mehmet Akif neighborhood of Çekmeköy. Connection to IETT city buses is available at street level.
The M5 line operates as fully automatic unattended train operation (UTO). The station consists of an island platform with two tracks. Since the M5 is an ATO line, protective gates on each side of the platform open only when a train is in the station.
Çekmeköy station was opened on 21 October 2018.[2] It was the eastern terminus of the line until the extension to Samandıra Merkez opened on 16 March 2024.[3]
The station has 2 exits. There are 6 elevators and 12 escalators.
