Do you have this in English please?
Thanks
Ahh.. It’s in English.. But the index part was directing to Turkish pages by mistake. Now corrected. Thanks for your warning.
Thank you Onur – this is really useful. Google Maps is also very helpful in deciphering Istanbul’s buses. The buses in Istanbul are so fast!! Not like in England where they are painfully slow! 😀
