Hola! Glad it was helpful🤗♥️

When you say the same fare continue on a second mode of transport within a specified time, do you still tap your card on the second mode and you will not be charged?

[@wingedpair]

Hi! As per the recent info we got, the transfer discount has been discontinued.

[@thomashardly2864]

[@Romana1900]

what is the best way to go to beylerbey palace from dolmabache palace?

[@wingedpair]

Hey! There is no direct public transport. 1. You can take a taxi. The distance is around 8 km. 2. You can take line 22 bus from Mimar Sinan University bus stop (frequency: every 15 mins). It will drop you to Ortakoy bus stop. From there, you need to walk to beylerbeyi palace, it’s around 1.2 kms. There are other buses also, but you need to switch atleast once.

[@tsherif8474]

Very informative and up to date, thank you. I have a question at Sabiha airport ( SAW) , is there a ticket machine which accepts credit card as a payement instead of cash?

[@wingedpair]

Hello! As per our information, there is no Istanbulkart machine at SAW airport. It’s only at IST airport. So if you’re traveling through SAW, you can get your cards from your hotel’s nearest metro or bus station.

[@notmyname8527]

Thanks for the info. When you change transport within a given time do you have to tap again.

[@wingedpair]

Yes, you’ll have to tap again but the amount will not be deducted.

[@hansellobo535]

@@wingedpair thanks a lot

[@abdulbasit9900]

What is the given time within one hour? I used it yesterday one fenecular and then tram it deduced 20 lira each time, today i used bus and then marmary it got deducted same and after that ferry and tram same happened, it was with in an hour.

[@wingedpair]

@@abdulbasit9900 Update: As per the recent info we got, the transfer discount has been discontinued.

[@rohintonable]

As we are 4 in a family, does using the Kart make sense if we break journey,change trams and still pay for each journey, each person 30 liras?

[@wingedpair]

Hmmm… doesn’t make sense. Better go for taxi🫶🏻

[@wingedpair]

But for longer routes, you can still rely on public transport. Note : 1 Istanbulkart can be used by upto 5 people so you need to buy only 1 Istanbulkart. But yes, it will be charged for each person separately.

[@rohintonable]

Worried about traffic. 😢

[@wingedpair]

@@rohintonable Istanbul traffic is very bad. Specially in peak hours🙁 We had to take a looooong route to airport to reach on time. Otherwise we would have been stuck. Our flight was in evening. But in night, morning etc. we didn’t find that much traffic. We used taxis.

[@sachinmehta3017]

Hi, which of the ride options are cheapest and most expensive between trams, buses, metro, ferries and funiculars?

[@wingedpair]

Hi Sachin! Our next video is on Transport options in Turkey with all the details. We will include the advantages, disadvantages of each, along with the charges in that video. Stay tuned!

So if I transfer between tram and funicular within the hour. Do I need to tap my card for the transfer as well.

[@wingedpair]

Yes you need to tap the card. But the amount will not be deducted. It will be considered as single travel.

[@michumichu8]

Hi, if i will go from airport istanbul to city center yenikappi by metro, my card will be deducted twice ?

[@wingedpair]

Hi! The amount deduction is based on the number of taps. If you switch metro/any public transport then you need to pay twice, otherwise same fare will continue, as in Istanbul, there is no tap-out, you just need to tap-in one time before starting the trip.

[@michumichu8]

@@wingedpair thank u for the information

[@rohintonable]

Thx for a nice informative video.When buying a Card, if I insert a 500 lira note, will I not have 370 lira balance?? Please enlighten me?

[@wingedpair]

@@rohintonable You will get 370 lira balance.

[@nikospapadopoulos4703]

can i use redkart after 3 monhs? or i must to buy a new one when i visit again .. ty

[@wingedpair]

Istanbulkart has no expiry date. As long as you have balance on it, you can use it 😊

[@wingedpair]

But if you don’t have balance in it for 3 continuous years, it will expire.

[@nikospapadopoulos4703]

[@patricetan]

Hi, are we allowed to bring big luggages from airport into the public transport? I don’t want to use taxis as most of them tend to scam you from what I’ve heard

[@wingedpair]

Yes taxis are a scam, even we faced a lot of issue when we called an uber. Language is a barrier. And yes, you can take big luggage from airport into public transport. There are designated areas also in public transport where you can keep your luggage. But, it’s better to either stand near that area where you kept the luggage or keep it next to you if you’re sitting, as you know, there is a chance of things getting stolen there. So better to be safe.

[@patricetan]

@@wingedpair thanks for the reply & tip!!

[@janiceloke]

Hi thanks for the info! I’m visiting Istanbul in a few weeks time. May I ask where is the machine located at the Istanbul (IST) airport? I’d like to get it upon my arrival

[@wingedpair]

Hi! You’re welcome😊You can buy İstanbulkart at the machines right outside the arrivals hall. This is -2 level at the elevators.

[@bf-w1969]

I was in Istanbul last week and used the Istanbulkart. However, when transferring from the bus (the journey took about 40 minutes) to the metro, I had to tap the card again. Does the system recognize that it was part of the same journey if the transfer only took 10 minutes?

[@wingedpair]

Hi! As per the recent info we got, the transfer discount has been discontinued.

[@shahzaibhashmi165]

How to get train ticket online? I'm trying to buy thru app but international credit card is not working.

[@wingedpair]

@@shahzaibhashmi165 Not sure cuz we didn’t use card for ticket purpose. We didn’t buy train tickets either, we used istanbulkart for everything. You can get an Istanbulkart through yellow vending machines, there is provision for card payment also.

[@maryanncruz5146]

Hi what if I don’t want to avail the card as I have only 10 hours layover from airport..is there a temporary card or 1time purchase ticket for a day?

[@wingedpair]

Hi! Here are few options you can check- 1. 10 Ride Transport Card : You can get it only at the IST Airport. It is valid for 10 rides for all modes of public transport. 2. City Card Travel Pass: It’s a one day pass for accessing all modes of transport. Note: These cards can be used by only one person at a time. You can check the type of cards and prices here : www.istanbulkart.istanbul/price-limit
