Why Street Taxis & Public Metro Fail Sports Travelers
Attempting to haul golf travel bags or sports equipment via airport yellow street taxis is an exercise in frustration. When drivers see oversized bags, they frequently demand cash surcharges of 300 to 800 TRY or attempt to force bags diagonally across the rear passenger seats, damaging leather and crushing legroom. If you are traveling as a pair or foursome, fitting multiple golf bags into standard sedans is mathematically impossible. Public transit is equally unsuitable: metro escalators, turnstiles, and peak-hour size restrictions make traveling with 15-25 kg sports quivers grueling.
