Konyaray is a commuter rail line under construction in Konya, Turkey. It will consist of one, 26 km line running from Yaylapınar to the Konya Organized Industry Zone. The system will have 19 stops and will run via the airport and the Konya railway station.[2] The name, like all commuter rail system names in Turkey, is a portmanteau of the word Konya and ray, which is the Turkish word for rail. The goal of the line is to provide better transport links for Konya's industrial zones.

## History

[edit]

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 30 April 2023. The first phase running from the airport to the Konya railway station is scheduled to be open in 2025.[1] The second phase will extend the line northwards from the airport to the Organised Industrial Zone, and southwards from the city centre to Yaylapinar, taking the total length of the line to 26 km. The line will run alongside the existing Ankara-Konya high-speed railway.

The actual construction works began on 17 July 2023,[3] after it turned out that the groundbreaking ceremony was only "symbolic".[4]

## Stations

[edit]

There will be 19 stations in total.[5]
