İstanbul
Deniz OtobüsleriA
Ş (İDO) operates fast
catamaran "seabus" (deniz
otobüsü) passenger
ferryboats to several commuter destinations
in the metropolis.
The seabuses zoom
up and down the Bosphorus and
across the Sea
of Marmara, with most service being
during the morning and evening rush
hours.
Because of their speed, catamarans
run the longer routes in Istanbul's
maritime transport system, leaving
the shorter routes to the comfy, traditional Şehir
Hatları ferryboats and
the smaller TurYol and Dentur
Avrasya ferries.
You may not find the İDO (pronounced
"EE-doh") seabuses very
useful for travel within Istanbul,
as they don't serve many touristic
destinations, but they are the best
way to reach other cities across the Sea
of Marmara. More...
