It was not crowded because it’s too early but if you’re going out tonight at nine, it was too crowded and you have you cannot find any parking place for your car
It's very well organized. A multi-level solution. One level is the road, the other level is the subway, and the car station itself is at the top. Which is also wonderfully organized. It goes around where people walk inside, shops and cafes are located in the center, and buses drive up outside. Minimum flow intersection. Ingeniously designed!
A very mixed impression. It's not difficult to find the location you need, unless it's your first time there, but after spending 10 hours at the bus station, you become an expert. 1) upon arrival from the airport, if this is your first time, do not be fooled by the kind Turks who want to escort you to the location you need, you will find it anyway, but they will charge you for it. 2) Each operator has waiting rooms on the 2nd floor, toilets too. 3) public toilets only on the istambul maps, you will not pass through the other ones. 4) It's not expensive to eat, the prices are the same as in the city. 5) If you have to wait a very long time for the bus, you can take the subway to the center in an hour and take a walk there. The entrance to the metro is in the central building of the bus station. Or walk to Ikea, where the meatballs are also the most delicious! 6) There is no luggage storage at the bus station. Therefore, if you change buses, but there is a lot of time, ask the operator, they are going to a meeting, you can leave your luggage with them. 7) A huge number of taxi drivers are very annoying, if you do not engage in dialogue with them, then they immediately fall behind. You can buy a souvenir or T-shirts at the bus station, I bought a suitcase, the prices are adequate.
