Express buses across the bridge

About Metrobus

The Metrobus runs in its own lanes along the main highway, across the Bosphorus Bridge to Söğütlüçeşme near Kadıköy. It is fast but extremely crowded at rush hour; useful for crossing between the European and Asian sides when the ferries are not convenient.

Why it's on our list

  • Dedicated lanes
  • Crosses the Bosphorus Bridge
  • Very busy at peak times

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Metrobus before you go.
