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 operates twice daily, in each direction, and serves as a connecting train for YHT trains from Ankara and Istanbul. The Taurus Express also runs between Konya and Karaman, serving as a third daily train between the two cities, and then continues further southeast to Adana. The first train departed Konya on 23 August 2011.^[1]

Once the Konya-Karaman high-speed railway is completed by 2019, high-speed YHT trains will replace regional DMU trains.
