Easy Transportation in Istanbul

Istanbul's public transit system has advanced dramatically in the last ten years, and this has had a direct impact on the level of service and transportation comfort in the city. Istanbul, like any advanced European city, has a network of several public transportation types, ranging from standard buses to metro and tram networks that cover 95 percent of Istanbul, as well as minibuses known as Minibüs or Dolmush (Dolmuş), in addition to a large number of taxis, some of which are owned by the Istanbul municipality and some of which are operated by private companies. Although taking a cab is undoubtedly the most convenient choice, the cost can be very high as opposed to the cost of public transportation. Today's focus is how Istanbul's public transportation system operates, and in this post, we'll give you a quick overview of the benefits and advantages of taking public transportation in Istanbul.

Many visitors in Istanbul consider the problem of the simplest and cheapest transportation inside the city, and they often pose the same question: what is the safest way to ride and pass around the city?


Istanbulkart

The solution is easy! If there are no barriers preventing you from taking public transportation, it is unquestionably the safest and most cost-effective mode of transportation in Istanbul. Istanbul has a very modern and convenient public transportation network, including buses, metros, trams, and even ferries, all of which run from early morning to late at night, giving visitors a great deal of freedom of travel. To use public transportation in Istanbul, you must first receive an IstanbulKart pass, which is a transportation card for the entire city.


How Can I Use Istanbulkart?

You will be able to use your card in all public transportation modes in Istanbul, including the metro, subway, tram, funicular, ferries, and public buses, once you have recharged it with the desired number. All public transit systems have Istanbulkart card readers; all you have to do is put your card near the reader and wait for a second before you hear the beep, which indicates that the ticket price has been removed from your balance, and the remaining balance of your card will be shown on the reader's screen. Since the card is not a personal card, if you are traveling as a group, you can only purchase one card, but each passenger can use the same card.


Istanbul Bus and Metrobus

The bus is the most common mode of public transportation among locals. It has a rather extensive network that stretches from Beylikdüzü to Pendik. Buses are the cheapest and most cost-effective mode of transportation, but they are often overcrowded, making it difficult to choose which one to take. 

Hundreds of thousands of locals use Metrobus on a daily basis for commuting. However, the Metrobus is not the most common mode of tourist transportation since it is not always convenient to navigate between all of these stops.


Metro and Tramway

Istanbul's metro and tram system is extensive, providing convenient access to many key locations on both the European and Asian sides of the city. It is the most common and convenient mode of public transportation. Thousands of Istanbul people use the metro every day as one of their favorite modes of transportation. 

Trams are also a convenient and fast way to get around Istanbul's most famous neighborhoods. It is contemporary, practical, fast, and on time. Since it stops near must-see sights like Galata Tower and Hagia Sophia Museum, the Baclar-Kabataş tram will most likely be the most convenient for visiting tourist attractions in Istanbul.


Ferry Ride in Istanbul

The most convenient, affordable, and fun way to navigate up, down, and around the Bosphorus is by ferry. Both travelers and residents use it as their favorite mode of transportation. The ferry is one of Istanbul's oldest modes of transportation, since it is isolated from the city by the Bosphorus and covered by water.
