The station was a stop on the Adapazarı Express regional train service; 11 daily eastbound trains and 13 daily westbound trains stopped at Tavşancıl. The opening date of the station is unclear, but the station was rebuilt and expanded in 1975, when the Turkish State Railways double-tracked the railway from Gebze to Arifiye.
