Does a longer journey change the 3 km fare?
The meter applies whichever is higher: the distance charge or the time charge. The Istanbul tariff sets the hourly rate at 598.90 ₺, so once a 3 kilometre ride runs longer than 14 minutes the meter starts charging for time instead of distance. That is why fares come out higher than calculated in heavy traffic.
