Kadıköy and Ãsküdar are the main transport hubs of this part of the city. From both, it is possible to find a direct dolmuÅ, bus or minibus line to almost anywhere in Asian Istanbul, and also to a lot of places in the European Side. Bostancı on the coast of Marmara Sea is a secondary hub, but an important one nonetheless.
By train
Suburban trains with frequent departures from HaydarpaÅa head to Gebze out of city borders 44 km to Kadıköy, following closely the Marmara sea-shore, calling at Bostancı and a number well, actually more than 20 of other stations on the way, including Kartal, Pendik, and Tuzla among others. A ticket jeton is valid for once and costs about 2,00 TL.
By Tram
Between Kadıköy and Moda, the one-way circular traditional tram route offers a pleasant short ride. However, you will likely use it for the experience, rather than as a useful transportation link.
By car
Major roads of Asian Side mostly follow a west-east axis. These are the three major roads which connect Kadıköy with locations east from south to north: The causeway Sahil Yolu, which follows the coast of Marmara Sea, BaÄdat Avenue one-way, and that is east to west which means you cannot enter from Kadıköy, and the road colloquially known as Minibüs Yolu. From Ãsküdar, the major road colloquially known with its former European road number E-5 lies to east towards depths of Asia, while another road also named Sahil Yolu Causeway connects the neighborhoods on the bank of Bosphorus in the north to Ãsküdar.
