The yellow minibuses (pronounced „dólmoosh“) that adorn the streets of Istanbul is another story. The speedy yellow dolmuses start from every possible spot in the city, pass any narrow space, stop wherever you wish, run always and everywhere. For instance, if it’s midnight and you missed the last ferry to the European or Asian bank, the yellow angels will save you for little money, as they run all night long. There are no visible bus stops, so you have to ask your way. Not far from the Taksim square, for example, you will find a dolmus to Kadiköy for 6 liras (3 euros), and it runs day and night. The rule here is the same: ask your way, stop a dolmus like a taxi with a stretched hand, if you want to get in, aks for the price from A to B, pay your fare or give the money to your neighbour who will pass it to another and then to the driver (every driver has his own way to store the money – see the picture) and as soon as you wish to get off, shout „Musait bir yerde!“.
