Country forums / Eastern Europe & the Caucasus / Turkey

Great news for those visiting during this holiday period.For the full duration ALL public transport will be half price :)So this included all trams,metro,buses,metro-buses,funiculars and ferries in Istanbul.
The following day 28th all public transport will be FREE from 08.00 until 14.00.The reason being this is the first day of schools reopening and the Istanbul municipal council have taken this decision to try to reduce road traffic on what is always an extremely busy day.
