Tickets and fares: the official site
We do not print ticket prices here, and that is deliberate: they change, and a page that quotes them turns false on its own without anyone noticing. We send you straight to the operator.

⚠️ These are the times of OUR itinerary: calculated on the route between two places with real coordinates, not pulled live from the transport service. They show you what a day in Istanbul is shaped like, not what the tram timetable says: strikes, works and queues are beyond us.
