Şişhane is an underground station on theM2 line of theIstanbul Metro.[2] The station is located under Meşrutiyet Street inBeyoğlu,Istanbul. Şişhane has an entrance to Istanbul's famousİstiklâl Caddesi as well as entrances toKasımpaşa. An out-of-station interchange is available with the historicTünel funicular line as well as the T2 tram line. Many city buses that run along Tarlabaşı Boulevard are just a few blocks away from Şişhane's Kasımpaşa portal. Şişhane was opened on 31 January 2009 along withAtatürk Oto Sanayi on the northern part of the line. Between 2009-14 trains from Şişhane would operate as a shuttle to Taksim and back. When the M2 was extended south to Yenikapı in 2014, trains operated normally traversing the full line.
