The Suburban Fleet (Turkish : Banliyö vagonları, also known as pierced bellies (Turkish : Karnıyarık)) were passenger railcars used by the Turkish State Railways on their suburban rail operations mainly in Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir. Those cars are kept in the depots as a last resort in emergencies.
