With a single purchase, travelers can enjoy unlimited rides on trains throughout Turkey for a month. Passengers can choose to ride in either compartment cars or in seats. The price tag for unlimited rides is either TL 150 or TL 500, depending on the type of car. The Express Train Tour Card (seated), which is valid on super express, blue train, express, regional express, rail bus and mototrain lines, costs TL 150, while the Compartment Train Tour Card, which is valid on all of the above, but includes sleeper, couchette and covered couchette cars, is TL 500. Extra amenities and upgrades, such as upgrading to a sleeper with an Express Train Tour Card, can be purchased separately. Cards are also available for high-speed trains and cost TL 300 for adults and TL 200 for students. TCDD officials hope this promotional campaign will help them pick up new customers who would like to travel by train instead by bus or by air. The TCDD is targeting summer travelers who would like to enjoy beautiful scenery and comfort during their vacations.
