Quick Facts Halkalı – Bahçeşehir Railway System B2 (Halkalı – Bahçeşehir) Suburban Rail, Overview ...

Following the demands for the extension of Marmaray's westward terminal station, Halkalı, to Ispartakule and Çatalca, in 2019, the Başakşehir Municipality announced that it would open a temporary train line to connect the residents of the region to Halkalı. Due to the single track between Halkalı and Bahçeşehir and the absence of a signaling system, the system can only operate with a transfer to the Marmaray line twice a day in each direction.[2]

While the construction of Bahçeşehir station was undertaken by the Municipality of Başakşehir, the construction of Ispartakule, Altınşehir, and Konut Birlik stations are being constructed by the Turkish State Railways.

On September 18, 2021, with the completion of the construction of the terminal station in Bahçeşehir, Mayor Yasin Kartoğlu of Başakşehir announced the successful completion of the first trial run of the line.

The line originally only operated between the Halkalı and Bahçeşehir stations, and later the Ispartakule station, with its opening on January 29, 2024.[3] The Konut Birlik station is in the final stages of its construction, while the Altınşehir station is still in its initial phase. In the future, it is anticipated that the necessary installations for these stations will be completed, making them ready for operation.
