What is the Metrobus in Istanbul
The busway, the first section of which opened in 2007 after two years of construction, is used by several Metrobus lines which operate within a ‘closed’ system carrying 800,000 people daily. Its name was coined by the İETT to suggest that the system is a hybrid between a metro train (Turkish: metro) and a bus (Turkish: otobüs).

Fees and Payment Methods for metrobus in Istanbul
In order to use all public transportation in Istanbul (boats, subways, buses, tramways, funiculars), you will need the magnetic card (IstanbulKart).
You can purchase the İstanbulkart from the yellow vending machines located in every station of the subway, trams, metrobus, funiculars and some kiosks located near most stops of the public buses. The cost of the card is only 10 Turkish Liras (TL) for the card itself and you need to add credit to it depending on how many trips you are going to ride. Crediting the card is quite simple, just place the card in the right place on the yellow machines, like the one where you purchased the card, wait for the card to be scanned and deposit cash to load your Istanbulkart.
At stations, there will be card readers; just bring your card close once and you can pass through the metal gate.
