How do Ubers work in Istanbul, are they reliable? I keep hearing to avoid taxis as they might hustle. Set a collect fee in your comment and will collect the best answers

        One of my team mates lived 40 years on Istanbul and said Ubers are ok. The problem is traffic, in which case you will need to use public transport

              Jab, right cross followed by a left hook gets the job done in most use cases.

                        They were there, and than gone again. Blocked by government, a lot of tensions between cab services and uber. Evidently. Now they have their license running again but only through regular taxis if I believe. For bigger vans you need 'Black Taxi'. I'm guessing there is an app for that top, or possible through uber even possibly. Uber is not the only mobile application that you can call for a cab or vehicle, there are also Uber alternative applications in Istanbul such as Bitaksi and Itaksi, which are the applications mostly used by locals in need of a yellow taxi.

                          Uber is taxis in Istanbul. Try superapp "Getir"
                          There is a taxi, grocery, food and lots of things in it. But there is no certain price in there. It's gives avarage price but its much better than directly call a cap from random place
