Buses
The bus is still in Turkey the main form of transportation. Every town, every area in Turkey can be reached from the bus station, the *otogar*. Otogar is a word combination, (“Oto” means car, “Gar” comes from the French word Gare for station). Go there and you’ll find all bus companies – tickets can be obtained right here. A confusing picture sometimes as there are so many agencies – so do decide on a serious company. And specially in summertime do book in time.
All buses have good comfort and air conditioning and a stop on the way for having a meal is always arranged
The Dolmus (dolmush) is typically Turkish and can be found everywhere. These are mainly minibuses traveling relatively short distances. A dolmus usually waits and starts in the bus station () until it is full and then leaves. You can board a dolmus anywhere on its route by signaling it to stop for you. Similarly you can get off at a convenient point anywhere along the route. The destination of the dolmus is posted in the windscreen. This kind of public transport is cheap and efficient and works very well all over Turkey.
