Kirazlı, or Kirazlı-Bağcılar, is an underground rapid transit complex of the Istanbul Metro and is serviced by M1B and M3 lines.[2]

Kirazlı opened on 14 June 2013 as the southern terminus of the M3 line and eastern terminus of the M1B line. Since the M3 is considered a "continuation" of the M1B, passengers can transfer between these two lines for free. Kirazlı is the only station that offers free transfer in Istanbul. The station was inaugurated with a big ceremony in which officials from the Istanbul Municipality and Istanbul Ulaşım took part.[citation needed]

On January 12, 2017 Lakhe Mashrapov, a man convicted of the 2017 Istanbul Nightclub attack was seen in the station and service to the station was suspended due to a search in an attempt to find him.[3]
