Hello guys,

Could you please help me with this. I am arriving to Sabiha on 30th June and I have no one to ask to pick me up. I know that taxi might be very expensive. I've heard about Havas, but I am not sure how it works.

Many thanks

There are Havas airport shuttle buses (usually white coaches, in fact) that go from Sabiha Gokcen airport(on the Asian side) every 30 minutes.

The fare into Taksim square (Beyoglu, on the European side) is 14 TL. and the journey will take you about 90 minutes, depending on the traffic. It can take up to 3 hours at peak rush hour!

Whatever you do, don't take a taxi as it would cost a small fortune.

No reservations. They collect the fare from all the passengers just before departing.

That's right. When you board the Havas bus, before it leaves the airport, they collect the money from each passenger.
