The Konya-Karaman Regional (Turkish: Konya-Karaman Bölgeseli) was a 102.2 km (63.5 mi) regional passenger rail service operated by TCDD Taşımacılık. The train operated twice daily, in each direction, and served as a connecting train for YHT trains from Ankara and Istanbul. The Taurus Express also ran between Konya and Karaman, serving as a third daily train between the two cities, and then continued further southeast to Adana. The first train departed Konya on 23 August 2011.[1]
