Istanbul Transportation Overview for Tourists

Choosing the correct mode of transportation is not always easy in Istanbul. Traffic is a huge problem, so taxis aren’t always the best solution. On the contrary, in some case it may even be the worst option. There are so many variables to take into account when choosing the most adequate means of transportation: ease of use, price, speed, comfort, safety, etc. I hope my Istanbul transportation overview for tourists will assist you in making the correct choices.
