Konya metro route confirmed
27 Apr 2017

TURKEY: Konya Metropolitan Municipality has finalised plans for a two-line metro network in the city. To be built in three stages, the network would connect the city’s main universities and hospitals.

Plans for a metro were originally published in 2015, and a feasibility study started in November 2016. Geological surveys are now underway, and construction is scheduled to begin in the autumn. The project is being funded by the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs & Communications

This is line 1. First tram line is on the same route it might be distmantled when metro line opens.

And this is line 2. Black-grey line is current tram line which is opened 2015.

This is surprising. Original plans for Konya Metro date back to the 1980s and have been scrapped in favour of tram. Obviously it´s a city with more than one million inhabitants, so a metro should make sense.

Konya has 1.2 million on 38.873 km². So it is hard to believe that its city exceeds 1 million on a reasonable area of 200 or 400 km².
