Halkapınar Transfer Center (

heavy rail
and rapid transit service in Turkey.

History

The oldest part of Halkapınar Transfer Center is the railway station. Originally built by the

Afyon. The SCP was bought by the Turkish State Railways in 1934, which continued to operate commuter trains that stopped at Halkapınar.[4]

In a plan to improve rail service around İzmir, the city municipality began planning a commuter rail and rapid transit network. Halkapınar was designated to become the primary transfer point between the two systems. In 1994, the State Railways sold the

overhead wire. The station was electrified in 2001, but never used. In 2006, plans for a new commuter rail system, İZBAN, were finalized and the rehabilitation of the railway began. Between 2006 and 2010, Halkapınar saw a suspension of heavy rail trains, due to the construction of railway tunnels in Şirinyer and Karşıyaka
. Service returned on 5 December 2010.

Ever since İZBAN began operating, Halkapınar has become the busiest station in İzmir and one of the busiest stations in Turkey. In order to accommodate the thousands of daily passengers, a second overpass was built to the east of the existing one in 2013. In 2016, Halkapınar saw a total of over 24 million boardings.[1]

Layout

The İZBAN platform of Halkapınar looking towards the main overpass, the İzmir Metro station is to the left.

Halkapınar has a total of five

intercity and regional trains to Eskişehir, Balıkesir, Bandırma, Uşak and Konya
.

On both sides of the platforms are railyards. On the north side is a small freight yard, used by

TCDD Taşımacılık, for freight trains using the nearby Port of İzmir. On the south side is the İzmir Metro's Halkapınar Maintenance Facility, used for layovers and maintenance of their rolling stock. A new depot for Tram İzmir equipment has been built, next to the metro depot. Further south of the under construction tram depot is a bus garage, used by ESHOT
, for their city bus fleet.

City buses arrive and depart from two separate bus terminals, located on opposite sides of the complex. The larger bus terminal, with 9 bus bays and 17 halts, is located to the southwest, accessible via Şehitler Avenue. The majority of buses depart from this terminal. The second and smaller one, with 6 bus bays and 8 halts, is located on the north side of the complex and is accessible via 1561st Street. Both terminals are accessible via the main overpass, connecting all facilities of the transfer center.

The tram station for the

T2 Konak Tram
is located on the southern side of the complex, along Şehitler Avenue. It is accessible via a walkway.
