Istanbul Public Transport Pass: 5 Rides Across Metro, Tram, Bus, Metrobus & Funicular

Exploring Istanbul made easier with public transport

Istanbul’s historic districts, shopping streets, waterfront neighborhoods, and hilltop viewpoints are spread across a large, busy city. This public transport ticket helps you plan those journeys in advance with a bundle of 5 rides. Each scan covers one journey from your starting point to your destination, making it a practical choice if you expect to use local transport between sightseeing stops rather than rely on taxis or purchase separate tickets throughout the day.

Seamless activation

• After booking, you will receive your Istanbul public transport ticket by email as a digital QR code, along with a city guide, metro map, and city map.

• Save the QR ticket on your phone before setting out. You can also keep a printed copy as a backup.

• At a participating metro, tram, funicular, or bus validator, scan the QR code to begin your journey. One ride is deducted automatically for each scan.

• No physical transport card, ticket-machine purchase, or in-person pickup is required.

• Validity: Your ticket is valid for 60 days from the selected date, so you can use your selected 5 rides when your Istanbul trip begins.
