LOCAL TRANSPORTATION
Public transport in Istanbul comprises a bus network, various rail systems, funiculars, and maritime services to serve the more than 16 million inhabitants of the city spread over an area of 5712 km².
Public transport is cheap and improving all the time, thanks to a municipal campaign to defeat the city’s chronic traffic problem. The result is reinforcement to the entire transport infrastructure: extensions to metro and tram lines, new bypasses and underpasses, new sea bus routes and funiculars are all under way or completed, and a trans-Bosphorus tunnel (Marmaray) is now under construction. But for the time being, Istanbul endures gridlock along major arteries.
Buses are useful for heading up the Bosphorus coast to Ortaköy, Arnavutköy, Bebek and beyond, while trips to the districts of Üsküdar and Kadıköy on the Asian shore are best undertaken by ferry or sea bus. The easiest way to get to shopping and business districts in Nişantaşı, Teşvikye, Etiler and Levent is via the new metro line that runs north from Taksim.
The informative website of the IETT, the local transport authority, has an excellent English version that includes maps and timetables.
The new metro and tram systems provide a comfortable and efficient alternative to clogged roads and crowded buses. However, coverage currently remains scant. At present, the metro runs from Taksim north to 4th Levent, stopping at Osmanbey, Şişli, Gayrettepe and Levent. Extensions slated for completion in 2008 will take the line south of Taksim to the sea bus jetty at Yenikapı and north as far as Maslak.
Another option is the ‘light metro’, which connects Aksaray (west of the Grand Bazaar) to the Esenler bus terminal and on to the airport.
The city’s only modern tram runs from Zeytinburnu via Aksaray to Sultanahmet and terminates at Eminönü by the Galata Bridge. This is a useful service for visitors, linking the Grand Bazaar, Haghia Sophia, Sultanahmet Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Egyptian Bazaar and the Golden Horn. You can also use the tram to visit the city walls. Buy tokens in advance from kiosks at tram stops and feed them into the automatic barriers outside the platform. The service runs from around 6am-midnight.
