Üsküdar is an underground railway station located beneath Üsküdar square in Istanbul. It was opened on 29 October 2013 along with the new trans-Bosphorus Marmaray rail tunnel. The Turkish State Railways operates commuter trains east to Ayrılık Çeşmesi and west to Kazlıçeşme (on the European side) within 6- to 10-minute intervals. The station is located beneath a central area of Üsküdar and therefore connections to several bus lines are available.
Üsküdar saw 1 million boardings in 2014, making it the 3rd busiest station on the Marmaray line as well as making up 20% of all passenger boardings.
