New York to Istanbul – Facts (6)

You can find peace in cabs here (given that the driver does not have a suicidal Turkish folk song playing). Unlike the smelly rude cab drivers in Manhattan, the drivers here are respectful and amiable. They don’t honk, might swear once in a while (but who doesn’t after a few hours in traffic), but never humiliate and curse you over a tip. They know their way around the city and will avoid any traffic possible.
