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.
