We've not actually been picked up for a meal before, (it's very generous and a great incentive to use specific restaurants, great for my daughter with little ones when the owner ran them home) but we love the dolmus services, can't recommend them highly enough. I wish we had similar in UK! It's only a few pence each way, and, if as Simon says you have a regular service, great! It's never been a problem for us, in fact we love always hopping on and off them. All part of the Turkey experience.
