M11 metro to Gayrettepe
M11 · TCDD Taşımacılık, on İBB's fare tariffPickup, hours & luggage
Boards at. Istanbul Airport metro station, signposted from arrivals. Buy or top up the İstanbulkart before the gates
TRY 42.34 on an İstanbulkart for the six-station ride to Gayrettepe, or five to Kağıthane — the gate takes TRY 47.89 and refunds TRY 5.55 when you tap out. A bank card or single-use ticket costs TRY 185 for the same ride. Children age seven and up pay full fare, and there is no group ticket. Onward to the M2 at Gayrettepe is a TRY 34.40 transfer, not a second full fare.
Luggage. TCDD's rule for the line: nothing over 30 kg or larger than 120 x 50 x 60 cm, and no goods trolleys. Ordinary metro cars without racks.
Hours. First train 06:03, last 00:17, arriving at Gayrettepe at 00:47 — the same every day of the week.
