Ferry

 '''Prices here are very outdated! Beware.''' From here there somehow happens to be two different ferry routes, one to Topçular and the second one a few kilometeres from Topçular (for the cost of 2.00TL/person).
The ferry has a flat fare for cars, so it doesn’t really matter whether there is only one person (i.e. driver) in it, or it is occupied by ten people when it comes to payment. Thus, the easiest method to avoid paying for the ferry is to ask drivers whether you can cross the toll booth in their car. You can do this in the very front of the booth, just before the drivers pay the fee (there usually is a helpful car queue in front of the booths). Security guards there seem to be relaxed about this, not concerned if you dodge the payment in this way (However, they may make a real fuss if you simply try to walk through the booth without buying a token). Once on the other side of the booth, the car will likely to be taken into a seperate queue if the ferry has started to fill up. There you can wish your driver ''bon voyage'' (Turkish: ''iyi yolculuklar'', pronounced ''ee-yee yohl-joo-look-laar'') and walk yourself to the ferry itself: Once you are clear off the booth, no one asks for a receipt of a payment, neither when boarding the ferry nor when getting off.
Hitchhiker [[Theo]] recieved a used ticket from a driver AFTER the driver has passed the control and managed to pass through the passenger entrance with this ticket. Even though the ticket was in the name of Mustafa Kemel and [[Theo]] is quite un-Mustafaish the guard just laughed and let him through (''git git'').
