Just an update to the new dolmus card. The new card is called a Mugla kentkart and can be used instead of cash on all the local dolmus and larger buses. The card can be bought for 5TL at the SEMBOL market at the dolphin roundabout opposite the new Migros. The card can be loaded in the shop when you purchase it. It is then held against the reader when you enter the bus and a fare from calis to fethiye costs 2TL a saving of 50Kr compared with cash. If there are more in your party the card can be presented to the machine multiple times.
You can download an app called kentkart from the app stores and once you have registered you can charge the card using the app via a credit card. Once charged online you need to wait 1.5hrs before using it and remember to tell the driver to press the recharge button on his consol before you present it and the machine will automatically update the amount on the card. The app also logs your journeys and if you click on the bus stops on the google map incorporated in the app it will tell you when the next bus is due. It will also tell you how to get to your nearest recharge shop. If you have an NFC supported mobile phone you can use your phone instead of the card after you have used the app to set it up. l hope this helps you to get started with this new technology. P.S. the new bus timetables should be available in the next few days from the dolmus station in Fethiye.
