The train service connecting Bitlis to Boazkopru is mainly operated by the TCDD Taşımacılık, Turkey's State Railways. The two main services on this route are the regional train, which runs at speeds of approximately 80 km/h (50 mph) and the more advanced express service, reaching up to 120 km/h (75 mph). The journey generally takes around 5 to 6 hours, depending on the specific service chosen.
The regional train offers a scenic view of Eastern Anatolia, making it an enjoyable ride for those interested in the natural landscape. On the other hand, the express service is designed for travelers looking to minimize travel time, with fewer stops at minor stations.
Both services provide basic amenities, such as seating and restrooms, but there is no first-class option available on these trains.
