Istanbul metro route planner

How many stops, how long, and where to change

Pick the station where you get on and the one where you get off. The planner counts the stops between them, tells you which line to take and where to change, and works out roughly how long the ride takes. It covers all 42 lines in Istanbul, 339 stations in total: metro, Marmaray, the Metrobus, trams, ferries, funiculars, and cable cars.

Stops are counted the way you would count them on board: the stop you get on at is not counted, the one you get off at is. For example, Yenikapı to Taksim on the M2 metro is 4 stops: you don't count Yenikapı, you do count Taksim.

Good to know

A single full fare is 46.20 TL with İstanbulkart. Changing vehicles within 120 minutes of the first tap costs 34.40 TL for the first transfer, 26.42 TL for the second and 17.18 TL after that. There's no transfer discount when you get on the Metrobus.

Times on the M11 metro, Marmaray, Metrobus, Üsküdar - Aşiyan ferry, and Beykoz - Sarıyer ferry are worked out from the distance between stations, so allow a few minutes either way. The other lines use their operators' published times.

The rest of kacdurak.com is in Turkish. Station and line names are the same in both languages, so the line and station pages linked here are still easy to follow: "durak" means stop, "hat" means line, "aktarma" means change and "yön" means direction.
