Fare Structure
There is a flat fare - 2.00 TL, paid in tokens (which are also valid on the funicular, modern tram, LRT, buses and trans-Bosporus ferry boats.) Akbil tickets/cards are also valid. This is the most popular method for long distance travelling. The Akbil ticket is valid in all metros, trams, light rails, funiculars, ferry boats & buses. Ferryboat and bus fares are not flat, so the price of this transfer ticket also varies depending on the distance to be covered in the bus or ferryboat. This ticket is very useful because it costs less (buying metro, tram, light rail, funicular, ferryboat and bus tickets separately costs more.) It also helps to avoid long queues at the light rail and ferryboat stations.

Famous quotes containing the words fare and/or structure:
“He showed me his bill of fare to tempt me to dine with him; said I, I value not your bill of fare, give me your bill of company.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
