You should buy your train ticket in advance, especially on longer routes. A 20% reduction applies to students, teachers, over 60s and disabled people. Return tickets are usually cheaper than two singles. Most long-distance trains have a restaurant coach with a reasonably good menu. There are several public transport cards in major cities. They can be used on buses, ferries, metro, trains and trams. There is the IETT card – the Istanbul Transport Card (İstanbulkart) and the IDO sea transport card (for Istanbul and Izmir).

Official taxis in Turkey are yellow. There are also mini cab services in major cities. Most taxis (taksi) have meters, but it’s wise to check the price before a long journey. In larger cities, you should give the exact address of the destination, and try to note landmarks too. Alternatively, there are dolmus, minibuses for journeys over short distances. The fare and destination will be displayed on the front window. You can get off anywhere on the route by shouting Musait bir yerde! (mew-sa-eet beer yer-de!) or İnebilirmiyim?
