Changes

September 2018: one empty To use the public transport, you will need an İzmirim Kart costed 6.50 , which costs 10 TL, and is sold in convenience shops (ask for ''büfe'' / ''tekel''). In machines e.g. in metro stations you can only put money on charge your card up with money, but not purchase a new cardone. We were told we can't use one As of 2020, linking your card to the HES code is required and thus you cannot ask other passengers to pay for 2 passengers, but not sureyour ride anymore.

One full fare is 3.00 50 TL and you will have free transfers for next 90 min from your first beep, this includes ferries(I think as of 2020, the transfers are not free anymore, but cost 0.50 TL).

Note that for ''İZBAN'' (fast train) your card will be charged 8 TL so you have to have at least that much in your card (because this train also goes to suburbs far outside of İzmir), but if you just go a few stops inside İzmir, most money will return to your card when exiting the station (fare is calculated by distance you traveled). So don't forget to beep also at exiting.
