City advice

Getting around

Buy an Istanbul Card.

Traveling with Istanbul Card is way cheaper than buying single way ticket (bir geç) every time. You can buy Istanbul Card from the machines in public transportation areas and it is valid in every public transportation.( Metro, metrobus, tram, bus, ferry)
Getting around

Prefer public transportation if possible rather than taxis.

Some taxi drivers may be unfriendly and may not be fair with the prices. If you take a taxi, look at the taximeter and be sure that it is working fine.
