Well after the globally-loved taxi app was introduced in Turkey, it began making an unexpected impact on the local taxi operations of the country. <\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this led to the local taxi service communities (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hurriyetdailynews.com\/index\/united-taxi-drivers-association\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Turkey\u2019s United Taxi Drivers Association<\/a>) teaming up to ban Uber from Turkey.

While many local taxi drivers are very much against the relaunch, officials see this as an opportunity for local taxi services to experience some healthy competition and level up. <\/p>\n<p>This is good news for us travellers (seriously).\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uber_Alternatives\"\/>Uber Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BiTaksi\"\/>BiTaksi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p>This app is readily available in both Google Play and Apple stores, and it is probably the most used local cab-hailing app in Turkey.

The globally loved ride-sharing app is a reassuring convenience for many travellers. A familiar mode of transport in an unfamiliar land.<\/p>\n<p>That said \u2013 the whole point of travelling to a new destination is to explore it truly. The destinations, the journey, the local scene \u2013 it\u2019s the whole package experience. And there is a high chance that taxi drivers share their knowledge of the best places to see in the city.<\/p>\n<p>With Uber, you know the process. It is the same in Turkey \u2013 it\u2019s the same everywhere else. You can choose to pay with cash or a card. However, the rates can differ depending on the peak times and Uber is not readily available outside highly populated city areas.<\/p>\n<p>Local taxis are highly preferred amongst locals in Turkey. The absence of Uber could also have an impact here, but we cannot confirm that. But there is a Taxi governing body in Turkey, so taxi services are regulated. <\/p>\n<p>There is the risk of drivers trying to swindle you after discovering you are a visitor. There is a risk of being charged an unfair amount.
