This bus terminal is huge! You can find all the bus companies which goes to every cities and provinces in Turkey. I was a bit shocked when I learned that they even have more than 2 floors (ground, 1st, 2nd, etc). The directions are provided in every corner of the station, so you'll easily get the information needed. One other thing that i like about Ankara's bus terminal is that the otogar is directly connected to its underground Ankaray (metro), you'll only need to walk 5-10 minutes from the underground to the otogar as it is conjointly connected.
You need to Learn Turkish to Intervene and Communicate with the Staffs and Personel in this place
This bus terminal is beautiful and so big in Turkey.
Ankara Intercity Bus terminal is the main bus terminal. You can travel all around the Turkey 7/24 by bus. Here you will find so many bus services, from cheap to high prices. The terminal is good and fully facilitated with food shops, seating and toilets.
Looking a bit run-down and depressing, it is a bit all over the place. It doesn't have signage in English. It took me a while to figure out where the lockers were. They charge 11 Turkish Liras for one day and it is 24/7 available. And in case you need an urgent toilet and you are not familiar with squatting however it is easy to take the metro or a taxi, be aware uber doesn't work well there.
Start your Turkish trip here :)
It is the biggest terminal in turkey as far as I know
List of prices is true. Not more not less
Very organised, clean and have a lot of options for dining
Not a good place to be.
The place is full of hagglers and jugglers.
Horrible shuttle system, horrible toilets and they are so expensive. Various restaurants and markets though.
The Information booth was helpful, I was able to find the correct ticket counter for a bus to Goreme (counter 50) {ticket was 45tl}in only a couple minutes. Decent food options are available considering it's a bus terminal. 1.5liters of mineral water and a vegetarian 'wrap' for 6tl. It's mostly tidy, with staff actively cleaning up. Bonus, the smokers are outside. There are benches to sit on. Not much English anywhere, but they seem to be used to travelers and gesture well.
Toilet position very far we got to run along coridor, since bus just transit for a while smoke everywhere..
Big Otogari means easy to have delayed bus.
Meh. Public transport is a joke. Place is always dirty.
Always someone shout:"İstanbul, Kayseri". You can find toilets end of the coach station. So if you go there you lost time. I think security is low. Ankara's coach station must be better!
Could be better. Especially sanitary-wise. And the security checkpoints are just a joke. At least have decency to remove them completely. They are not screening all the doors.
Crawded main bus statiıon but good metro / underground connectıon to cıty
