Is the traffic in Istanbul good? Traffic conditions in Istanbul

You may not know this place, but you should know about Turkey. This is a city in Turkey. This city has many beautiful places and many very good attractions. Now it is a small city. Let me tell you about transportation. Transportation

Istanbul is not big, and you can get around the whole of Istanbul without using taxis, subways, trams or the like. At the subway station, buy a transportation card and recharge it for about 25 liras for a four- or five-day trip. The transportation card covers subways, trams, light rail, etc. A one-way ticket costs four lire, but with a transportation card it only costs 2.3 lire, saving nearly half the price.

Istanbul has a variety of urban transportation modes, including buses, minibuses, subways, light rails, cable cars, and ferries. IETT Company (Istanbuk Elekrikve

Tünel) is responsible for operating buses, light rails and subways in Istanbul. Most modes of transportation in Istanbul cost 4 lire one way regardless of distance. If you use the Istanbul Transportation Card (Istanbul

< p>Kart) it is 2.15 lira. The fee for applying for an Istanbul transportation card is 10 liras, of which 4 liras are available for use. When the card is returned, only 6 liras will be refunded. It costs 2.15 lire for the first time and 1.45 lire for other transportation within two hours. One card can be used by multiple people, but only the first person can enjoy the discounted fare. You can top up automatically at any subway station or large bus station, or you can top up with cash at small shops in the city. It is recommended to buy a transportation card, because many stations only have automatic card swiping and no manual services, and the trains do not accept cash, so it will be more convenient and save money to have the transportation card in hand. Bus *** Bus

Advantages:

1. The price is cheap. We rented a modern automatic transmission, which cost just over 200 yuan per day;

2. Car return procedures Very convenient, no inspection required;

Disadvantages:

1. Cars are generally refurbished or repaired after broken ones, so be sure to check before choosing a car to avoid any problems, including Engine oil, wheel rims, etc.;

2. Many airports do not have their outlets, and their outlets are far away from the airport. You need to keep your business card so that they can come and pick up the car when you return the car. They will not look at it. The mileage does not depend on whether the vehicle is damaged, which is also a strange thing in the car rental industry.
