In-Depth Information
It is more often the case that they demand an exorbitant amount, give you grief, and refuse
to run the meter. If this happens find another cab.
Generally, only when you are using a taxi for a private tour involving waiting time
should you agree on a set fare, which should work out cheaper than using the meter. Taxi
companies normally have set fees for longer journeys written in a ledger at the rank; they
can be haggled down a little. Always confirm such fares in advance to avoid argument
later.
Locals usually round up the fare to the nearest 0.5TL.
TRAM

tramvays
(trams), which are a quick and efficient way of getting
around, and normally cost around

the same trip yourself using the prices in this topic, and shop around before committing.
