Konya Metropolitan Municipality is continuing work on the City Hospital–New Industrial Zone Tram Line, which is the first phase of the Stadium–City Hospital Tram Line Project.
Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that they are diligently continuing their rail system investments to make urban transportation more comfortable, faster, and more environmentally friendly.
Mayor Altay said, “This phase, which will have a total line length of 11.1 kilometers, will provide transportation between the City Hospital and the New Industrial Zone, making access to healthcare services easier while also offering significant convenience in reaching the industrial area. We are carrying out this project using our own resources.”
Reminding that the total length of the currently operating rail system in Konya is 27 kilometers, Mayor Altay said, “KONYARAY is 23 kilometers long, and the City Hospital–New Stadium Line is 21.1 kilometers. So with just these two projects, we’re nearly tripling the existing system. We are also continuing work on a new line that will start from Ahmet Özcan Street and pass through Fatih Street, Chechnya Street, Ömer Halisdemir Street, and the Ring Road. This major transportation investment will further strengthen Konya’s public transportation infrastructure. I would like to thank our Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, for his support throughout this entire process.”
