The T5 Eminönü–Alibeyköy Coach Staion tram line (Turkish: T5 Eminönü–Alibeyköy Cep Otogarı tramvay hattı) is a tram line following the coastline of the Golden Horn on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey.[1]

Construction of the line began in 2016. The first section consisting of 12 stations between  [tr] (tr) and at a length of 8.8 km (5.5 mi) was officially opened on 1 January 2021.[2][3]

When completed, the line will be 10.1 km (6.3 mi) long with 14 stations each 60 m (200 ft) of length, and is expected to go into service in 2021.[4] 30 trains will carry up to 114,000 passengers a day. Its route mostly follows the western coastline of the Golden Horn,[5] and is built on the bank next to the existing street. In some places, it crosses the water on piles. The total travel time will be 35 minutes.

The line uses Alstom's APS (a third rail embedded in the ground between the tracks) for electrification to avoid visual pollution, a difference from other tram lines in the city, which have traditional overhead wires suspended from roadside posts.[6]
