Another option is to take the M4 Metro to Kadıköy and then transfer to a ferry heading to Beşiktaş.

From İstanbul Bus Station (Esenler Otogar): Please note that Esenler Otogar is the main terminal for intercity buses. However, depending on your bus company, you may have the option to disembark at an earlier station, which could make transferring to Beşiktaş more convenient. Additionally, some bus companies offer complimentary shuttle services directly to Beşiktaş, so be sure to check with your provider.

If you arrive at Esenler Otogar, you can follow this route to reach Beşiktaş:

  1. Take the M1A Metro heading to Yenikapı.

  2. At Yenikapı, transfer to the M2 Metro and travel to Taksim.

Using Public Transportation in İstanbul

İstanbulkart

The İstanbulkart is a rechargeable card that provides easy access to almost all public transportation services in İstanbul, including metro, buses, trams, ferries, and more. It is widely available at kiosks and vending machines near transportation hubs.

You can also manage your İstanbulkart using the official İstanbulkart App, which makes it easy to check your balance, recharge your card, and plan your trips. Download the app here:

Route Planning Apps

For planning your routes, you can use the following apps:

İETT “Otobüsüm Nerede” App: This official app by İETT (İstanbul Electric Tramway and Tunnel) helps you find the best bus routes and track buses in real-time. Download the app here:

Google Maps: Google Maps is also highly reliable for route planning in İstanbul. It provides detailed directions for public transportation, walking, and driving.

Tip: While these apps are helpful, asking a local for directions can sometimes be the best way to navigate İstanbul’s public transportation system.
