Konya urban transportation infrastructure development

Overview

Konya is expanding its urban transportation infrastructure through several major projects involving rail and bus networks. The municipality is advancing a new intercity bus terminal, with construction expected to begin in September 2026. This terminal is intended to integrate with the city’s rail systems via a pedestrian overpass to connect the terminal, the High-Speed Train station, and the airport.

Parallel developments are focused on the KONYARAY suburban rail line. The first 23-kilometer stage, connecting Meram Station to the Kayacık Logistics Center, has largely completed its construction phase and is currently undergoing electrification and station building.

To support these rail expansions, the Konya Metropolitan Municipality has launched an international competitive tender to procure 16 new train vehicles (four train sets). This procurement, financed by the Islamic Development Bank, requires the rolling stock to be compatible with TCDD infrastructure and 25 kV AC electrification. The project aims for at least 60 percent local content and includes manufacturing, testing, and personnel training.
