Istanbul vintage tram at Taksim This is a vintage tram that runs on a mainly single track between Taksim Square and the upper station of the Tünel line, which is on a primarily pedestrian street, with limited vehicular traffic. Fares are paid for with tickets, rather than tokens (which are valid on the Tünel, Modern Tram, Hafif Metro, busses and trans-Bosporos ferry boats). Tickets can be bought at both terminal stations, and at some newsstands. Akbils are also valid. Taken 10th February 2006 by Josh Hanz (email: Josh_Hanz@hotmail.com)
