What we calculate

  • Directions and journey times: calculated by our own route engine from official stop-to-stop times and departure times. Walking inside stations when changing lines is an estimate.
  • Walking times: in directions, street by street along OpenStreetMap footpaths at 80 metres a minute. For transfers and for nearby stations on place pages: 1.3 times the straight-line distance at 75 metres a minute, plus 2 minutes to enter and leave the station.
  • Journey fare: calculated from the İETT fare table with transfer discounts; transfers made without leaving the gates cost nothing, so the figure is a maximum.
