İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only)orPrivate transfer to Istanbul Airport?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only) reaches Kadıköy, on the Asian shore, and Taksim across the Bosphorus; the Private transfer to Istanbul Airport does not. This goes to Istanbul Airport on the European side, not the city: for a connecting flight.

The İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only) is quicker: 1 h 27 against 2 h 20.

İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only): 00:15–03:30, every night but Friday to Saturday. Private transfer to Istanbul Airport: hours not recorded.

This line only exists at night. Miss the 03:30 and the next public transport is the metro at 06:00 or a Havabüs coach for delayed flights, if one is running.

The cheapest thing that moves after the last metro on Sunday to Thursday nights — TRY 92.40 against TRY 300 on the Havabüs coach — and it takes 87 minutes.

The night fare is an open question: the tariff doubles bus fares between 00:30 and 05:30 unless a decision says otherwise, and none is published for this line. Budget for TRY 184.80 on the 01:05, 02:25 and 03:30 departures.

Pay with an İstanbulkart: a bank card is charged the single-use price, TRY 120.

No departures on the night from Friday to Saturday. The M4 runs through that night, every 30 minutes at double fare.
