Bursaray Information
The Bursaray, often referred to as the BursaRay, is a rapid transit system operating in the city of Bursa along the Marmara region of Turkey. It was built in 2000 by the TUVASAS company and is currently operated by Burulas. The name of the service is derived from the acronyms “Bursa” and “Ray”, two Turkish words meaning “railway”. The network was opened to passenger traffic in April 2002. 91.5 million passengers use the metro every year.
The Bursa metro, also known as Bursaray, in Turkey serves approximately 250,000 passengers daily. It doesn’t operate 24 hours a day, its operating hours are from 5:00 am to 12:00 am.
The metro doesn’t have air conditioning and passengers can’t walk between platforms. It doesn’t have driverless trains and there are no screen doors on the platforms.

The Bursaray metro runs from 5am to midnight every day. Trains run on average every 10 minutes for most of the day. It is more on the main line than in the western part of Acemler station, where the lines run separately. On the section between Şehreküstü and Merinos stations, a train arrives every 5 minutes during the day. The frequency increases at night.
Lines and Stations
The Bursaray route is completely independent of other public transport routes. Each line has a common section and a separate section. Line 1 starts at Emek Station on Mudanya Road and Line 2 starts at University Station on İzmir Road. They converge at Acemler Station and then follow a common route. It runs along Ankara Road and passes through the city centre and Şehreküstü Meydanı. The route then follows Haşim İşcan Caddesi over the Gökdere Viaduct. It then returns along Ankara Road and ends at Kestel Station.
Seven of the system’s 38 stations are underground. The section between Şehreküstü and Merinos stations is underground. There is a short tunnel section before the intersection of the two lines near Acemler station. There are also tunnels at the western end of line 2. Batikent is another underground station. The stations are 120 metres long and have island platforms. Bursaray is built to the same track gauge as other Turkish metro networks such as Ankara Metro, Istanbul Metro etc.
There are currently 122 trains running on these two lines. Of these, 48 are Siemens B80, 30 are Bombardier Flexity Swift and 44 are Düwag SG2. The trains are operated by an automatic train control system. 3-car trains run on Line 1 and 4-car trains on Line 2. Line 1 connects Arabayatagi and Emek stations. The journey takes about 35 minutes. Line 2 runs from Kestel Station to Üniversite Station. A full journey on this line takes about 42 minutes.
Expansion
There are plans to expand the Bursaray system to a 50km network in the near future.
