== Hitching in ==
The trucks are banned from entering the city during rush hours (morning: ''?'', evening: about 17:00-21:00/5PM-9PM). So if you are arriving from west ([[Tekirdağ]], [[Edirne]], [[Greece]], or [[Bulgaria]]) on the motorway by a truck, it is highly likely that the vehicle will be stopped at Mahmutbey toll booths of motorway, at the western entrance of the city, by cops. If this is the case, say your farewells to your driver, walk to the sideroad lying along to the right of motorway. Turn to the first or second street to your right (the first wide one, you will notice it). About 200 metres down that street, you will notice a bus stop. Here public buses (line #89M, with a sign saying ''Zeytinburnu Metro''; costs about 1.50 TL pp (~ €0.75), pay cash to the driver and he will hand you his smart ticket (''Akbil'') which you will touch on that box at the entrance of the bus) heading for Zeytinburnu stop, from which there is an extensive choice of public transportation into the city such trams to old city (Sultanahmet), buses to Taksim/Beyoğlu (#93C), or ''Metrobüs'' heading for Asian Side across the Bosphorus. From that stop close to the motorway toll booth, there are also more frequent minibuses to Topkapı, from where you can also find trams, buses, and ''Metrobüs'' into the city (beware, some minibuses stopping at there do '''not''' head for Topkapı, though).
