Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. First, take the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, then cross to the European side via ferry, followed by using the T1 tram to Laleli-Üniversite station. This journey typically takes 2-2.5 hours depending on traffic and connection times. Managing luggage through these transfers can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require advance booking and follow fixed schedules. The journey includes multiple hotel stops, potentially extending travel time to over 3 hours. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times may not suit all travelers, particularly those arriving on early morning or late night flights.
Regular taxis are available at the airport, but the 53.2 km journey can be costly and time-consuming. Journey duration varies significantly based on traffic conditions, typically ranging from 75 to 120 minutes. Taxi fares are metered but can increase substantially during peak hours or heavy traffic conditions. Communication with drivers may be challenging for international visitors.
