From Behiçbey to the center of Ankara, that is, to the place where the Ankara YHT Station is, we take it on 6 lines. We took off on 4 lines from Ankara YHT Station to Kayaş. Our uninterrupted suburban trains will use two lines from Sincan to Kayas. The other two lines will be used by YHTs from Ankara to Sincan, and one line will be used by our main line conventional trains. Conventional trains from Ankara Station to Kayaş will use two lines serving YHTs at the same time. We took the line from Ankara to Kayaş on 4 lines, from Ankara to Behiçbey on 6 lines, from Behiçbey to Sincan on 5 lines. Thus, we made the 36-kilometer line much more comfortable and quality by laying a 156-kilometer rail system. " he said.
