The Konya-Karaman Regional (Turkish: Konya-Karaman Bölgeseli) is a 102.2 km (63.5 mi) regional passenger rail service operated by TCDD Taşımacılık. The train runs 4 times, in each direction, between Konya and Karaman on the Konya-Yenice railway. The train operates alongside the three daily YHT high-speed trains running south of Konya and serve as connecting service to high-speed trains terminating in Konya. Together with YHT trains and the Taurus Express (Konya-Adana), the Konya-Karaman Regional make up four of the eight daily round-trips between the two cities. The first train departed Konya on 23 August 2011.[1]
