What are the buses like in Turkey ?
The buses in Turkey are great! They run regularly from almost everywhere to almost everywhere. For example ,buses run every hour from Istanbul to Canakkale. They are cheap. Istanbul to Canakkale is 300 kilometres and costs about USD$12. You can usually estimate about US$ 4 per 100 kilometres. They are comfortable. The bus companies use the latest model coaches. All air-conditioned. Each bus has an attendant that brings around coffee/tea or soft-drink with a biscuit or cake. Water is free on Turkish buses, just ask the attendant for “Su”. Turkish for water. Or even better say “Su, lutfen” (pronounced ‘sue, loot-fen’), water please.
