 Two CapaCities load and unload at one of the BRT stations. Heading for Istanbul is 2008-0894 and in the opposite direction 2008-0833. Access to the stations is through turnstiles and the majority of passengers use pre-pay touch keys. However work on the turnstiles was unfinished. Some stations are manned and at others the bus driver takes fares. This slows the bus as boarding through other than the front door is not permitted.
|
 Mercedes 2008-0838 heads for Istanbul as another CapaCity approaches one of the many stations. Other than at the two termini boarding and alighting is only possible at the motorway stations.
|
 CapaCity 2008-0888 pulls away from a Metrobus station.
|
 When the Metrobus route started the CapaCities were serving alongside red VDL doubledeckers. As can be seen CapaCity 2008-0821 was running the service with standard IETT Mercedes Citaro artics.
|
At Zeytinburnu there is the opportunity for short working from the outer University terminus when bound for the city. Buses go up the ramp in the centre and circle the roundabout over the motorway and then descend rejoining the carriageway where 2008-0861 is seen passing as it heads in from Istanbul.
