Starting May 3: Marmaray night lines in Istanbul will operate all days of the week

A significant change in public transport in Istanbul: Marmaray night lines are expanding

Starting May 3, 2026, a significant change will occur in the schedule of the Marmaray, Istanbul's suburban train. According to a report by the Sansürsüz Medya +18 channel, the company will begin operating "starting May 3" additional trips every day of the week, this after the additional night service had previously been limited to weekends only.

The change comes as part of an attempt to provide relief to the city's passengers. The Haber Gündem channel notes that this is a "great convenience for YHT passengers" (high-speed trains) and an overall improvement in accessibility to public transport. According to the channel, this is a "new arrangement that will facilitate transportation" and will take effect immediately with the start of the following day.

Both channels present the move as a positive step to improve service in the city, without presenting objections or criticism regarding the change in schedules.
