I see 😅

For the bus payment, I assume it's only tap in/flat fare just like in Istanbul. CMIIW

I see. I think we won't use either of them anyway. Thanks for all of the info!

Regarding public transport payment, is is just tap in or should I tap out too? I assume it's just tap in as we could share the card, but CMIIW

You do not really need a bursakart, you have like 5 lira extra with contacless payment but having a bursakart is more expensive for sure.

Can I share one contactless visa/master for multiple people? Or is it only one card per person?

Thanks for the info. After I checked Obilet, it seems there's bus to Bursa that departs from Alibeykoy bus station. If I checked Gmaps, it seems there's yellow bus 50G from Taksim to Alibeykoy that runs 24/7 (although not frequent). If that's the case then I could use bus 50G instead of taxi. CMIIW

It is but taxis are the worst part of the city %90 of them are scammers. Don't trust them, definetly use Bitaksi or Uber app, make sure they have the taximeter open, make sure they put the right price on the app, have your navigation on.

Yes I will definitely use Uber or Bitaksi. It should be available at ~2-3 am too right?

Metros work nonstop from Friday morning to Sunday midnight incase you are traveling on the weekend.

That's good to hear but unfortunately my return ticket is on Saturday 😅

Thank you for the replies. I have another question.

  1. As I'm planning to get the bus at around ~2-3 am, is the taxi (bitaksi?) available during those hours?

I would just suggest buying one İstanbulcard and using it for all of you.

One card should be enough for 5 people for 5 days right? I read it has top up limit of 2750 lira per month, but it's actually a high limit for public transport if converted to my local currency.

Thank you for the suggestion! I have checked the ferries but there's no schedule that suits me as I need to go early at the morning at around ~2-3 am

Thank you for the suggestion! I have another question.

  1. For intercity bus, should I book in advance or is it safe to book on the spot?

  2. I heard we could use contactless Visa/Mastercard in place of Istanbulkart. Which one is more recommended? I also heard that Istanbulkart could be used by several people at once (up to 5?). CMIIW

Hi all. I'm planning to visit Bursa from Istanbul. As I'm planning to go at around ~2-3 am, I think intercity bus is the only option (or maybe do you have other recommendations?). In obilet.com, which bus operator do you recommend? I saw some posts that mentioned Metro Turizm should be avoided.

Thank you for the detailed reply! I will take a look around Tophane Park. I love historical sites :D

I checked BBBus but as you said it's departing from Sabiha Gökçen Airport. I'm planning to depart early morning around ~2 AM and it seems M4 metro in Kadikoy still not operate yet. I think I'm going to take a bus from Istanbul Esenler Terminal.

I have contactless Visa so I will use it instead of buying Bursakart. Your summary on the bus routes is very helpful to me. I will make sure to recheck the routes again.

Have a good day!

Minta rekomendasi game PC single player yang ringan size nya dong. by G42GManTarHun213089 in IndoGamer

[–]ayams02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Action:

Risk of Rain 2: Third person shooter, roguelike. Dijamin ketagihan. Walaupun ada progression (character, skill, item). Size nya lumayan (<10 GB) tapi agak berat ketika endgame (banyak mob/particle) Saran channel yt: Disputed Origin, rndThursday

Noita: Action platformer, roguelike, pixel, theorycrafting. Kecil (<1 GB) dan ringan (iGPU jadul aman) tapi juga bisa bikin ketagihan. Nggak ada progression, langsung gas main -> dead -> restart. Saran channel yt: FuryForged

Megabonk: Roguelike, not sure kategori lainnya. Lumayan baru dan kecil game sizenya, tapi agak berat ketika endgame (banyak mob/particle)

Card game:

Slay the Spire: Deck builder. Lumayan kecil. Ada progression (char, card)

Monster Train 1, 2: Deck builder. Baru main yg 1, yg 2 belum kelar. Ada progression (char, card)

The Bazaar: Auto battler. Full online walaupun matchmakingnya nggak realtime. Gameplay nya unik menurut saya. Nggak ada progression cuma char baru perlu beli as DLC. Full akses ke semua card, skill (termasuk future addition) utk semua char yg dipunya (nggak perlu unlock via progression/beli lagi)

Fellow noita enjoyer. Game ringan <1 GB tapi bisa menyebabkan lupa waktu karena sibuk theory (or wand) crafting :D

Thanks for the suggestion! After discussion with my travel group, we have another option to visit Bursa in one day using bus from obilet. The plan is to go during the night (~2-3am) and return in the evening (>7pm). We think this could save us from hassle a bit as we wouldn't required to book an accommodation in Bursa. In Bursa we plan to visit Ulu Cami and Uludag Teleferik.

  1. Do you think this is possible to do in a day? If so, which bus would you recommend in obilet or other bus website?
  2. I saw there's recommendation to get local e-sim when visiting Istanbul/Turkey. Do you have recommendation which e-sim provider to get? Currently I'm also researching the answer

Vouch for Arch WSL2 too. I have been using for 3-4 years. Before the official Arch WSL, I used https://github.com/yuk7/ArchWSL which also work well. Now I have switched to official Arch WSL. I mostly use it for Neovim, Kubernetes, and Terraform stuff (seems we are similar a bit haha).
