Integrates with subway lines

Connections will be made with Keçiören Metro at Ankara Station, with Batıkent Metro at Yenişehir Station, and with Ankaray at Kurtuluş and Maltepe stations. A modern station will be built in Emirler so that passengers in the west of Ankara, which is growing and developing in terms of population, can use YHT without coming to Ankara Station.
A train will arrive every 2,5 minutes.
There will also be places where passenger services will be carried out and shopping areas in the new station to be built. The suburban line will be separated from the transit railway traffic and will be transformed into a more functional, high standard, comfortable, safe and preferable mode of transportation in terms of time, operation and user. With the signal system to be established, a commuter train will be able to operate every 2,5 minutes.
