The last named can be bought at the bus ticket offices or at some shops. Look for the sign "İzmirim Kart" to buy this card.

You simply show the card to a device besides the driver and the cost shall be deducted from your total credit. Using "İzmirim Kart" is more reasonable. You can recharge the card by payment at any "İzmirim Kart Dolum Noktasi", of which there are many. Using this card is the cheapest way to get around, since its good for the buses, the metro,the tramway,the izban(train) the ferries and the bisim(bicycle).
