2 Getting around Subway, the easiest for longer trips, runs daily from 6:30 am to 1 am. If you can read the maps at bus stops, buses are a good way to get around and to see the town. Subway and bus prepaid tickets can be purchased at a ticket office or a vending machine in subway stations:.50 one- time charge for the rechargeable card, 1.40 for one trip on all network of bus or subway (it only charges you once in one hour), or 6 for a one day ticket (it includes unlimited trips during 24h). You may also use the zapping system. Scan your ticket at the gates both entering and leaving the subway, or each time you enter a bus. If you get a taxi from the airport to IST, it should cost around 10. We recommend going upstairs to departures to get the taxi, rather than using a taxi waiting at arrivals.
