Havabüs coach to TaksimorHavaist coach to Istanbul Airport?

Havabüs · Havabüs, fare set by İBB — line SG-2Havabüs coach to Taksim

From

The Havabüs stop on the road outside the terminal

To

Taksim, on Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi in Talimhane, via Kavacık, the second bridge, 1. Levent, Zincirlikuyu Metrobüs and Dolapdere

Luggage

A coach with a hold; the operator publishes no bag limit for it.

Runs

06:30–00:30

Journey

90–113 min

The only direct public service across the Bosphorus from this airport. Everything cheaper leaves you on the Asian side or at 4. Levent.

Ninety minutes is the operator's estimate and it says traffic decides; İETT puts the same run at 113 minutes. Plan on two hours at rush hour.

It sets down on Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi in Talimhane, the stop İETT lists for the line; the operator's English page names the Gezi Park metro exit on Cumhuriyet Caddesi instead. Both are Taksim.

Nothing scheduled between 00:30 and 06:30. The extra coaches for delayed flights until 04:00 have no timetable, so do not plan on one.

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.
