Ferry services

Every city, Bosphorus and Islands line; departure times by pier and the current fare table.

Lines

Three categories, one list

Lines operated by Şehir Hatları are grouped by category, each with its own colour.

Lines within Istanbul

Short crossings like Kadıköy–Eminönü and Üsküdar–Beşiktaş that form the backbone of daily commuting.

Bosphorus lines

Long, multi-stop lines that run pier by pier along the Bosphorus.

Princes' Islands lines

Lines to the Princes' Islands, including the two-tier fares for Adakart holders and non-holders.

Departure times by pier

Tap a pier to list the departures from it by day type; the next departure is highlighted. Timetable footnotes (holidays, seasons, extra services) are shown as expandable cards.

Current fare table

Fares for central lines, connecting crossings and the Islands line are listed section by section. The two-tier Adakart/non-Adakart price on the Islands line is shown separately; non-numeric values such as Bosphorus tours are displayed correctly too.

The real route over the water

The ferry route doesn't join piers with straight lines; the real sea route is used. The line never crosses land.

Ferries on the line

When you open a line, ferry positions calculated from the timetable move along the map; departure and arrival piers are highlighted in colour. This movement is timetable-based, not real vessel GPS.
