Do not tap a bank card. The reader takes it and charges the single-use price, TRY 65, against TRY 46.20 on an anonymous İstanbulkart bought before the gate.
Fifty-two minutes end to end: the airport is the last stop and Kadıköy the first, so every ride is the whole line, with 21 stops between.
Sunday to Thursday the last train is 23:59. Land later and it is the E-10 bus (00:15, 01:05, 02:25, 03:30), a Havabüs coach to 01:30, or a meter taxi. Friday and Saturday nights the metro runs through instead, every 30 minutes at double fare.
It does not cross to Europe. For Taksim change at Ayrılık Çeşmesi to the Marmaray, then to the M2 — three trains — or take the Havabüs coach direct.
Six and a half times cheaper than the Havabüs coach to the same square, and no slower.
Every fare on this page is İBB's tariff of July 2026, the second revision this year; expect the figures to have moved again and check the fare at the gate.
