Although the rail network is widespread, it is not yet sufficient to reach many residential and business centers in Istanbul.

Buses are probably the most common means of transportation that can take you to the nearest point where you want to go.
Bus operating hours and travel times vary. It is possible to enter the line number of the bus you want to use from İETT's home page and find the route and schedules.
Istanbul is a seaside city. Therefore, there are also maritime solutions especially for trips between two continents. Apart from the main lines, there are Bosphorus, Golden Horn, Princes' Islands and Bosphorus Tour lines. City line ferries usually work all day long and stop their flights after business hours.
