A key component of Türkiye's transport vision, the Bandırma Bursa Yenişehir Osmaneli High Standard Railway Project aims to integrate the Marmara Region into the high speed network. From Bursa, it runs through Gürsu and Yenişehir to Osmaneli, connecting there to the Ankara Istanbul high speed line. Extending west to Balıkesir via TEKNOSAB and Karacabey stations will also strengthen regional rail transport.

Sustainability
Environmental Management
Comprehensive Environmental and Social Management Plans control impacts during construction and operation.
Noise, air quality, water resources and waste management are monitored regularly.
Energy efficient electromechanical systems will ensure low operational carbon emissions.
Social Impact and Participation
A Resettlement Action Plan protects affected people's property rights and ensures fair compensation.
A Livelihood Restoration Plan supports agriculture, livestock farming and small businesses.
A community grievance mechanism has been established and information meetings are held regularly.
Biodiversity and Nature Conservation
Special measures protect endemic and sensitive species identified along the route.
The Biodiversity Action Plan aims for:
No net loss in natural habitats,
Net gain in critical habitats.
Plans cover protection of forests, meadows and scrubland, rehabilitation of river basins and safeguarding important biodiversity areas such as the Kocaçay Delta.
Long Term Contributions
Carbon emissions will fall as transport shifts from road toward rail.
The project will contribute to employment and economic development during construction and operation.
Bursa's integration into high speed rail will strengthen regional industrial, trade and tourism potential.
