Bodrum Public Transportation

If you are spending your holiday in Bodrum, you can easily get around using public transportation. All city buses and most dolmus minibuses belong to MUTTAŞ, the public transport company of Mugla Province.

What is MUTTAŞ?

MUTTAŞ is the transportation company of the Mugla Metropolitan Municipality. Since 2014, it has organized public transportation throughout the entire province of Mugla – including Bodrum.

Tip for Holidaymakers:

Public transportation in Bodrum is affordable, regular, and a convenient way to reach beaches, hotels, and attractions.

How to Pay?

Contactless & Cards

No cash payment on MUTTAŞ buses

Cash payment is not accepted on official MUTTAŞ buses (and dolmuses). Payment is made contactlessly.

  • Contactless payment with credit or debit cards is possible in many vehicles.
  • Drivers or other passengers may pay with their card, and you can reimburse them in cash.
  • The fare within Bodrum is approximately £1 to £2, depending on distance.
Note: British Pound coins are not widely used in Turkey. Change is usually given in Turkish Lira (TL).

Mugla Kent Card

For Residents

The Mugla Kent Card is a personal stored-value card for buses and dolmus minibuses. It allows contactless usage of all MUTTAŞ vehicles.

Important: The Mugla Kent Card is only available to Turkish citizens and is issued in the holder's name.

2-Ride Ticket

Single Use Cards

For tourists, occasional users, and those without a bank/credit card, 2-ride disposable tickets are available at sales points.

(These cards cannot be refilled and do not require identification.)
