How to Use the Dolmuş and Municipal Buses

  • At the stop, check the route sign on the front of the vehicle and wave it down; tell the driver where you're going as you get on.
  • Paying: according to MUTTAŞ's line pages, you can pay by credit card on all vehicles; the Muğla Kart travel card is also used.
  • Times: each line's page shows separate weekday, Saturday and Sunday times, plus a section showing where the bus is.
  • Plan your evening return: check the last departure on the line page, especially on lines to the villages.
  • Space can be tight with luggage; with a big suitcase the airport bus or a taxi is easier.
