What is Dolmush and How to Travel

The Dolmus (dolmush)is typically minibuses travelling relatively short distances. A dolmus usually waits and starts in the bus station (Otogar) until it is full and then leaves.

You can board a dolmus anywhere on its route by signaling it to stop for you. Similarly you can get off at a convenient point anywhere along the route. The destination of the dolmus is posted in the windscreen. In summer the latest hour of departure of the minibuses or dolmus is 7.30pm. This kind of public transport is cheap and efficient and works very well all over Turkey.
