From the end of the 19th century, a great breakthrough was made in the name of mass transportation on the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and transportation began to be provided first by carriages driven by horses and then by tram systems. Tramway management was carried out in Ottoman lands with agreements signed with the state by a Belgian company. The company, which holds public transportation with many privileges, continued its services with the proclamation of the Republic. By 1924, the students of the Faculty of Medicine, who had always been highly sensitive to social issues, resisted against the foreign capital holding the Tramway company in terms of price reduction. With the participation of Istanbul Police Department, Istanbul Governor's Office, Ministry of Public Works and Ministry of Internal Affairs, the event spread to a wide public area and became a current issue. The newspapers of the period shared very detailed information about the subject every day. The event, which caused the injury of two students, the dismissal of a police officer, the interruption of tram services from time to time, the destruction of the tram company by raid, occupied the public in the last months of 1924. In the event that showed a national uprising feature in the history of the New TurkishState, themedicalstudentswhorefusedto pay 80 coin for the ticket, obtained a discount and made their payments over 40 coin. While this resistance was the first victory won against the imperialiscapital in the Republican era, there sisters went down in history as men worth 40 coin. The study, which shows a qualitative research feature for the purpose of introducing and discussing a case study, was constructed within the framework of an event in 1924, the archive documents, periodicals and research works of the period related to the subject were examined and the relevant ones were transcribed from Ottoman Turkish and included in the study.
