GETTING TO IUE
By Bus
1. 202- Leaves once an hour
From the airport to
Fahrettin Altay Station (Metro and Tram)
2. 480 or 969
to bus stop called ‘Teleferik’
These will take you directly to IUE. If you are too confused about the bus stop, just ask the
driver for ‘ekonomi universitesi’. The total trip will take around 60 minutes and cost 6 TRY.
The phone apps usually show you on the map where on your journey you are, so hopefully
you won’t get lost!
For the adventurous: If you feel like taking an adventure you can ride on the infamous
‘Dolmus’ once you arrive at Fahrettin Altay. Take the green minibus that has ‘Oyak Sitesi –
Inciralti’ written on the side. The Dolmus follows a route but has no formal stop, so you
have to ask the driver to stop by saying “müsait bir yerde" (moo sigh eet beer yair day)
which more or less means "stop at a convenient place". The dolmus costs 4 TRY.
See this WikiHow article on how to take a Dolmus:

By Train
You can take the train called ‘Izban’ outside the domestic terminal and take it towards
the ‘Aliaga’ direction. You can ride it until Hilal (or Halkapinar) Station, and from there
change the train lines from Izban to Metro, and ride the Metro towards the Fahrettin Altay
Station (end station). Once you are at F. Altay, exit the Metro from the Pazaryeri or Terminal
exit and follow the instruction above for how to take the bus. Total trip will take almost 90
minutes and cost 9 TRY.
By Taxi
!
Please note on the Izban you pay by the kilometers
you have travelled, so makessure you swipe your card
on the on the orange both once you exit.
Perhaps the easiest way to arrive on the first day, but also the most expensive:
You can take a taxi directly to IUE from outside of the Terminals. This will cost you
between 70 to 80 TRY (12 euro). Make sure the taximeter is on (usually not a
problem)
