Taxi in Istanbul, Turkey

And the best thing you can expect is an enjoyable experience: the cab will take you there by the quickest way and you will be charged the right price as indicated on the counter. Taxis refuse to take you where you want to go because the distances are not far enough to reach a sufficiently large price.

Taxis take you where you want to go but refuse to use the taximeter and you are billed an extra-ordinary price which you can only cut by having an unpleasant argument with someone who does not understand your own tongue. Taxis take you there on a round-about that is wasting your precious moments and costs far more than it should.

Journey is fine, but the rider is expecting a big tip because you are a non-national (Turks don't tip cab drivers). Driving like a madman, the rider seems to endanger not only his own existence, but also that of other riders and yours. When you leave the Istanbul International Airports, a cabbie picks up your pockets, puts them in the boot, you go with him (because he has your pockets), he brings you to a place where others rob you.

Here is an example from the actual lives of a TTP visitor: "...every cab trip, even though it gets involved in tariffs (even writes them down so it's clear), always ended with a problem, that is, more. Coming from the aerodrome in a yellow cab, we reach 30TL without a metre switched on.

Halfway into the city, sometimes at over 150 km/h, the ride turns on the counter, which somehow says 43 TL, and when we came to [our hotel] it was about 60TL. "Here are a few instances of popular cab fraud. The majority are run on clean-burning liquefied petroleum gaz (LNG), and all have electronic counters, which must be operated by the driver by operation of the laws - but this does not mean that they are always running them.

When your rider doesn't launch the takimeter or tries to bargain at the beginning of the ride, instead of executing it, just point to the gauge and say takimeter! It' probably going to be a lot less expensive on the counter than having him calculate what he wants at the end of your trip.

The speed should blink when the rider launches the meter: TL18 to TL20 is the price for the 5 km 15 to 25 minute drive between Taksim square and Zultanahmet. From Atatürk Airport to the city of Zultanahmet, the journey takes 35 to 75 minutes and the price is TL70 to TL80. From Sar?yer, on the North Bosphorus coast near the Black Sea, to the Galata Bridge is about TL90 (but you can take bus 151 to the metro terminal M2 Hac?osman and take the metro to Taksim just for a few Liraz - without getting caught in the Bosphorus coast jam).

A lot of cabs are small yellow automobiles that have two comfortable seats in the back, three in a dash (or if you are all endomorphic). There may be one occupant sitting in the right front row pilot's cabin if the rider allows, so the overall number of people a cab can transport is four (plus the rider), although most riders favour three; and if you have baggage, the cab may not even be able to transport four people because very few cabs already have a lot of cargo hold /ship hold in there due to the large size of the LPG canister.

My doubts are that a single rider will allow five people unless he has a bigger vehicle than the default one ( there are some bigger ones). It is good for any trip that you can schedule and book in advance and is much more enjoyable, convenient and safe. Turkish people don't tip cabbies, they round off the price.

Many times when the ticket price is TL20. 50, the rider only needs TL20 and does not care about the modification. If you are a non-resident, your chauffeur can expect you to give a tip, but you don't need it unless the chauffeur offers a specific type of assistance, such as help with a lot of weight.
