Havaist coach to TaksimorİETT bus H-2 to Mecidiyeköy (night only)?

From

Transportation floor -2, Peron 16; the Havaist counters are on the same floor

To

Taksim Square. Some departures run via 4. Levent, Zincirlikuyu Metrobüs and Beşiktaş; the rest go express via Nurtepe

Luggage

Two bags of no more than medium size free per passenger; TRY 120 for each bag beyond that. Tell the crew your stop when you hand a bag over — it is unloaded only there.

Runs

All night

Journey

90 min

It runs through the night with one hole. From the airport: 00:30, 01:15, 02:15, then nothing until 04:30, then 05:30 and roughly every 40 minutes through the day to 23:45. Land at 02:30 and the wait is two hours.

Eleven times the metro fare, for a seat, a hold, a stop in the square itself and a night service. By day the M11 plus three M2 stops is TRY 76.74 and about 45 minutes.

The 90 minutes is Havaist's own figure; the operator warns that routes and times change with traffic and asks you to be at the stop before departure.

Which of the two Taksim routings a departure takes is marked on Havaist's timetable in orange (via Beşiktaş) or blue (express); both end at Taksim.

A third bag, or an oversized one, is TRY 120 — a quarter of the fare again.

From

Transportation floor -2 — the İETT stop the timetable calls İstanbul Havalimanı Garaj

To

Mecidiyeköy Metrobüs, beside Şişli-Mecidiyeköy on the M2, two stops from Taksim

Luggage

An İETT express bus; İETT publishes no luggage rule for it.

Runs

01:10–05:45

Journey

105 min

This line only exists at night. 01:10, 03:30 and 05:45 from the airport, every day. Miss the 03:30 and the next bus is over two hours away; after 05:45 take the metro, which starts at 06:03.

It is the cheapest thing that moves between 00:17 and 06:03 — TRY 92.40 against TRY 470 on the Havaist coach — and it takes 105 minutes to Mecidiyeköy.

The night fare is an open question. İbb's tariff doubles bus fares between 00:30 and 05:30 unless a decision says otherwise, and no document read here says whether one exists for the H-2. Budget for the rule as written on the 01:10 and 03:30 departures.

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

Mecidiyeköy is a Metrobüs and M2 interchange, not a square with hotels on it; the M2 will not be running when the 01:10 or 03:30 arrives except on Friday and Saturday nights.
