Tourist Trap: Cab Drivers and Cheater people
  • Tip Rating:
  • Some VT members were complaining about cab drivers and some cheater people.

    For Cab: When you take a cab,you will see,he will put the thing to put price on.
    it should starts with 1.01 YTL .it suppose to show Gunduz (Day) or Gece (Night).
    Night cost double and starts after midnight.

    At Least Do This: if you realise he put the wrong one.Tell him to stop the car right away and ask for the cop. Actually suppose to be tourist cops but if you can not see any around,go to any cop you see.Tell them,whats going on and let them help you.
    Alternative: why dont you take the bus named HAVAS?
    they are always waiting front of the airport and has hours to move.
    Tell them,where you want to go,they will help you.
    They are working with the airport,so thats not really possible cheating by 'em.

    These buses are going to Aksaray,Taksim,Kozyatagi (Anatolian side) etc etc.

    Another option is to take a metro/subway.
    If you follow the signs for metro in the airport,you can find it easy.
    you can see the map for destinations in all subway
    Any problem?confused?Ask to people in Subway !
    Even if they dont speak english well,they will try to help (yes,we are very helpful people :-)))
    They are not like some Cab drivers,dont worry :-)
