Are you wanting to cruise around Istanbul worry free? Well, the transit is where it is at! The Istanbul transit is super efficient, well thought out and an excellent rider experience! To make your journey the best it can be, grab an Istanbulkart which will give you access to all the transit options in the city, plus access to some of the public washrooms!
Check out this video to learn how to purchase the card plus top it up for when you want to use it again!
The Istanbul Transit system has got to be one of the more affordable that there is in the world! You can go on over one hour bus rides for just the equivalent of 50 cents! Not many places give you that luxury!
So grab a card and get on board! Ride boats, trains, subways, buses, and even gondolas to get the cheapest sight seeing tour that money can buy!

We left seeking an exciting life, and we have not been disappointed!

Thanks for such a cogent and straightforward explanation - you're probably the easiest 'explainer' to listen to on the Internet. We used a Bursakart recently when we were visiting family in Bursa and the Istanbulkart seems identical in conception and use. We've been to Istanbul many, many times but never once used an Istanbulkart. Off there again in April, God willing, and this time I'll be following your instructions. Tesekkur ederiz!
Sorry I’m so late to reply. I hope you figured it all out. The same system was in Izmir and Antalya as well. Turkey has public transit dialed!
I am gonna to go alone to stanbul and I was finding this information thanks for sharing it
No problem! Glad it’s helping:)
Thanks it’s helpful for Beginners like me👍.
So informative, thanks so much for sharing
Thank you so much! Glad it helped you:)
where do you get that card from? istanbul one when you land at Airport
There are three of us, we are traveling as a family.. can we use just one card?
By the way... Super useful and nice video
Thank you so much:)
Thank you
can you use for more than 1 person. i have 4 people in my party. machine not take credit card?
No credit card. Yea you can use for four people.
Istambuł card is genial!
I think so too!
Thanks for the video!
You are welcome! Hope it helped you:)
Super useful. Tks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Can you use a one card for two people if you are travelling together?
Sorry this is a very late reply. Yes you can!
Hello, can you answer my question, please? If I get an Istanbul card, and use it on tram, then I use it on the bus or other vehicles, will I be charged every time? Or there is a time limit?
Thank you
Sorry to have missed your question! Hope you found out by now.
What about the student transport card mom?!
You need to have a valid student certificate. You need to go to a IBB points with this certificate and then request a student discount card. These points you can find using Google maps.
If this is used for 2 people, how do you get on the transport system? Do you tap twice?
You can use one card for maximum 5 people, car price is 50 Turkish lira
Sorry for the delay here. I'm sure you have figured it out by now. We always get our own card each so that if we lose one we have another. But yes, two people can use one card. You just scan it twice.
Can I use my visa to pay or has to be cash?
It was cash only when we were there.
Thank you so much !!
You are welcome! Have fun in Istanbul! It’s our favourite city!
@@ArtisticVoyages thanks!! It became my favorite city too!’
How to get HES Code and link with your Istanbulkart?
Sorry we didn’t have a HES code when we were in Istanbul. So I’m not sure how that works.
Can this card be using for the metro too ?
Yes! Sorry for the delay.
Can you pay using American Credit card?
NO! Turkish cash only.
Do you need two cards as a couple? Or one card is enough and use card twice at each gate or bus?
If it's a regular card then you don't need 2 cards. But if it's a discount card aka. personal card with the name and photo on it then only the valid person can use it. The card shown in this video is just a regular card.
@@lethalbacon3299 actually you can use personal card for another person. but discounts wont be availible for second pass. but you cant bring and use someone else's card all time.
Sorry for the late reply. We were told that we could use one card for both. But we purchased two so we each have one.
Where do we get the card from? And are children under 10 free?
You get the card right from the machine the first time. Although I have heard that some things have changed with Covid. Unfortunately I’m not sure about the children. Sorry I don’t have more updated information.
under 7 is free
It is very complicated , you need HES code and registration . You can not get it like that anymore. Better not to travel to Turkey.
We were in Istanbul for 2.5 months and never needed a HES code. But we never left the city so that helped.
If you are a tourist and will use public transport in Istanbul or elsewhere in Turkey, do your research about transportation. Yes, the process is easier for citizens, but this is a normal thing anyway.
On the other hand, your lack of research or ignorance is not the country's fault or problem. If you're coming to the country, you need to do your research.
If you're not coming just because of that, no one cares. I don't think we're going to look for your absence.
It's 50tl now not 10
OMG! I heard prices were going up but that is crazy!
prices are changed.. need to know.. thanks to erdo :)
Oh too bad! Did they go up?
@@ArtisticVoyages yea
@@Lord-ov2gf How much does one metro/bus ride cost now? Also is the process of getting the card difficult?
@@notradamaza4035 one full card ride costs 7TL , which is like 0.40 $
also i dont think its much hard to get card
@@Lord-ov2gf Btw sorry to be bothersome but which areas in Istanbul do you recommend staying at for hotels? Staying there for 11 or so days and thought of spending 5 days in taksim to explore the European side and 6 days near Kadıköy.
is that the Anonim İstanbulkart to get or is any verification needed also?
I'm not sure what you mean by Anonim........maybe anonymous? You just purchase it from one of the yellow machines. No ID needed.
@@ArtisticVoyages whats difference between "Anonim Kart istanbulkart" vs "Elektonik Bilet istanbulkart" ?
@@FuckDaGovernment I don’t know. Sorry. We just bought the one from the machine. I’m not aware of different cards. If you are a student I think you can get a different kind of card but I don’t know how.
