dolmus

[wa66yne]

Kitty has reminded me of a question that i have been meaning to ask since last year..... and it is this;

why does it cost 1.5tyl to travel to maramris, and 1.75tyl to travel back to icmeler????like i said they were last years prices, and they may have changed this year.

curiosity killed the cat!!!!!

I suppose its because when the dolmus gets to the top of the hill just outside Icmeler it can then freewheel all the way down into Marmaris.
Of course on its way back to Icmeler more petrol is being used because of the gentle incline.

going from icmeler to marmaris is down market
going from marmaris its up market.

When was this last year because i have always paid 1.5 lira on the dolmus to and from icmeler!!! and i went 3 times last year throughout the year, it was always the same each time

I never tried the Dolmus. For some reason the just didnt look safe. And i heard you had to pass your money down to people infront of you and they passed it to people infront of them and so on till it got to the driver and then your change came back via the lines of people.

Is this true and are they safe?

[karent]

yes it is true... all part of the fun!make sure you hold on to something or someone and youll be fine !

Dj_sploit how can you go to Turkey and not go on a dolmus? LOL!!! Yep its true about the money bit and its perfectly safe, lol. We've never had any trouble on them.

Ok then, I am gonna drag the girlfriend on a Dolmus and see what all the fuss is about. I was just a little worried about them, thats why I never tried them out but you have put my mind to rest and im well up for it now thanks

ah you wont regret it! i love having my first dolmus ride of my holiday!

[cherice]

Having a dolmus (white kuckle) ride is part of going on holiday.

Ha ha!

[denisthefish]

there is a dolmus which appears to be run by icmeler council,this one was slightly cheaper than the normal ones,only problem here is,you could end up on a guided tour of most of the old village,not a problem unless you are in an hurry,this dolmus is slightly bigger than the others, but still the same markings,(orange stripe all round).

[Icmeler*wonderbabe]

yes this is the cheaper bus. i think it costs something like 1.25 lira, we went on this once and got took near the old village as it was early morning! we werent ina hurry but it was a good journey hehe Ive also been on the cheaper busses with the blue markings in marmaris they are 75 kurus.

Omg please dont mention dolmus to me lol myself and my friend last summer were hopping to catch the last one to marmaris and we were in a little bit of a hurry so we jumped on one that did clearly state on the front "marmaris" but we never got to marmaris the bus driver pulled over and everyone got off.. myself and my friend twiddaling our fingers and wondering why he was laughin. "last stop" he was shouting n we were like He was going to leave us in the middle of a dark alley so we refused to get off and the lovley driver took us back to icmeler and kindly put us on the right one aww big thanks to him if anyone has heard this tale lol!!
