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.
