Editorial policy

Independent writing and clear limits

English content is researched for an international audience. It is not a sentence-by-sentence translation of Turkish content.

International English

We use clear International English, explain local terms at first use and preserve official Turkish names where they help verification.

  • Türkiye for the country name
  • Istanbul in English prose
  • Local names retained when they appear on signs or operator systems

Information we ask readers to check again

Exact operating times, fares, journey times in traffic, live availability and payment acceptance can change. We direct readers to the responsible operator instead of presenting these details as permanent.
