Egekent 2 is a railway station on the İZBAN commuter rail network in İzmir, Turkey. It is located on the west side of the D.550 highway in the neighborhood of 29 Ekim. The station opened on 30 January 2011.[2]
The station is within Central line of the İZBAN system. Trains run north to Menemen and Aliağa; and south to Alsancak, Cumaovası and Tepeköy.[3]
The station itself has a unique design, in comparison to the rest of the stations in İzmir. The mezzanine of Egekent 2 is located in an elongated structure above the platform. Here lie the fare turnstiles and information booth for the station, along with a small waiting area. This design was later utilized in Ankara during the renovation of its commuter rail line.
