Worth knowing

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.

Where it takes you
