The seagull was a natural choice for the design , says Altan , because the bird is the symbol of the Bosphorus . A new seagull - shaped transit hub is to built on the banks of the river . The new transit center will provide links for trams , trains , buses and small ships , say containers . Project will incorporate green features like garbage collection and renewable energy . Construction due to start next year with station scheduled to open in 2015/16 .
