Havabüs coach to KadıköyorHavaist coach to Istanbul Airport?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Havabüs coach to Kadıköy reaches Kadıköy, on the Asian shore, and Taksim across the Bosphorus; the Havaist coach to Istanbul Airport does not. The other airport, not the city. Useful only for a connection between the two; for the centre take the metro or a Havabüs coach.

The Havabüs coach to Kadıköy is quicker: 1 h against 2 h.

Havabüs coach to Kadıköy: 05:45–01:30. Havaist coach to Istanbul Airport: Runs all night.

The M4 metro goes to the same square for TRY 46.20 in 52 minutes. The coach costs six and a half times as much and, by İETT's figure of 87 minutes, is slower; by the operator's 60 minutes it is about the same.

It buys a seat, a hold and a service that runs to 01:30 every night, two hours after the last metro on Sunday to Thursday nights.

The 60 minutes is the operator's own estimate and it says traffic decides the rest; İETT puts the run at 87.

Yenisahra, on the way, is an M4 station: get off there for the eastern districts rather than riding into Kadıköy.

Round the clock, with holes: from the airport 00:05, 01:30, 03:00, 04:40 and 06:00, then roughly hourly to 22:50. Overnight the wait can be an hour and forty minutes.

Two hours on the operator's own timetable, and 85 km; traffic on the bridge decides the rest. Do not plan a connection tighter than four hours between landing here and departing there.

Havaist charges TRY 515 where İBB's tariff says TRY 530 — expect the operator's figure at the door.

A third bag, or an oversized one, is TRY 120.
