Journey from west to east

The journey from west to east. We took a tram to a transition station of metrobus and then travelled by metrobus across Golden Horn and Bosphorus, arriving at Kadikoy. Then we went back to Sisli and travel to Taksim by metro, where the old tram started. At the same time, another ferry trip started in Kabatas.

Istanbul on vehicles

My exploration in Istanbul began with different kinds of vehicles. There a variety choice of vehicles in Istanbul, trams, buses, metros, ferries, metrobuses, suburban trains, taxis and old tram. They run in different layers of the city but connect and overlap, which offer with us another dimension of experiencing the city. The city would be different once I boarded on a different vehicle. I may come across surprises when moving in the city.
