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.

Worth knowing
First train 06:03, last 00:17, arriving at Gayrettepe at 00:47 — the same every day of the week.
The gate takes TRY 47.89 on entry — the fare of the longest ride possible from the airport — and refunds TRY 5.55 when you tap out at Gayrettepe. Load at least that much.
The price of the card itself is not published. No authority publishes it. It is small next to what the card saves.
Last train 00:17, at Gayrettepe 00:47 — after the M2 has stopped for the night on Sunday to Thursday (Metro İstanbul gives 06:00–00:00). On Friday and Saturday nights the M2 runs through as a night line, charged at double fare from 00:30.
The M11 is not a night line and has no Friday or Saturday extension: one timetable, every day. Between 00:17 and 06:03 see the H-2 bus and the Havaist coaches.
Kağıthane and Gayrettepe cost the same TRY 42.34; staying on to Halkalı costs TRY 47.89 — the whole of what the gate took.
Every Havaist and İETT airport fare here is set by the same İBB tariff, which was revised in February and again in July 2026. Check the tariff index for the current figure.
