About Public Transportation City Card

Istanbul City Card is a specially designed public transportation card for the needs of tourists. It is valid in every public transportation vehicle including metro, trams, buses, metrobuses, and ferries. There is only one exception, minibusses in Istanbul are still using cash, but don’t worry there is no place you can get by minibus instead of a bus! 

If you are in Istanbul as a tourist, then this card is perfect for you! Since public transportation is the cheapest and most of the time the fastest way to transport, you can use this card to get wherever you want to visit in Istanbul. It is a beautifully designed physical card delivered at your hotel by Istanbul Tourist Pass® and after using it, you can keep it as a souvenir. 

The new Istanbul City Card has 6 different designs each of them having a symbol of Istanbul. One symbolizes the famous cats of Istanbul, others have drawings of the Maiden Tower, the Galata Tower, a cup of Turkish tea, a ferry, and the famous red tram of Istiklal Street. Cards are delivered randomly so you may have only one of them for your visit; so another reason to come again to collect them all. 

You will have a physical card delivered to your hotel and you don’t need to return it, you can keep it to remember the amazing days you were in Istanbul.

To start using it, please follow these simple steps:

Activation:

• Tap your card at the designated kiosk machines known as "Biletmatik" to activate it.
• Alternatively, activate your card by swiftly scanning it at a turnstile or on a bus for 5-7 seconds.
• Once activated, your card is ready for immediate use, do not scan again.

Important Usage Information:

• Your card is for personal use only and is valid for one person.
• Please note that attempting to use the same card at the same stop within a short time frame will result in the card being blocked for 30 minutes. Avoid multiple scans to ensure seamless usage.

We hope the Istanbul City Card adds to the ease and joy of your travels. Explore the city effortlessly with the efficient public transportation system.
