abuelita is a brand of chocolate tablets , or powdered mix in individual packets , made by nestlé and used to make mexican-style hot chocolate , also known as chocolate para mesa ( english : " table chocolate " ) .

it was originally invented and commercialized in mexico since 1939 , by fábrica de chocolates la azteca .

the name is an affectionate spanish word for " grandma " ( literally translated as " little grandmother " or " granny " ) .

since 1973 , mexican actress sara garcía has been the image for the brand before it was acquired by the swiss company in the 1990s .

the chocolate usually comes in hexagonal tablets that can be split into wedges , and then melted into milk .

the drink can also be mixed with spirits such as kahlúa .

the product ingredients ( in order of percentage ) : sugar , chocolate processed with alkali , soy lecithin , vegetable oils ( palm , shea nut and/or lllipe nut ) , artificial cinnamon flavor , pgpr ( an emulsifier ) .

abuelita has been a staple mexican product for more than 60 years , and can be identified by its unique taste and packaging .

other " mexican chocolate " tablet brands are ibarra and moctezuma .

one suggested method for preparing abuelita is to bring a saucepan of milk ( or water ) to a boil , and add the tablet of chocolate and stir continuously with a whisk or molinillo ( a whisk-like wooden stirring spoons native to meso america ) until melted and frothy or creamy .

the drink is served cool or chilled in preparation for mixing with alcoholic drinks .

chocolate abuelita is often prepared for special occasions , such as las posadas , ( christmas season ) and el día de los muertos ( the day of the dead ) , a day in which people remember their family and friends whose spirits have gone to the afterlife .

welcome to abuelita mexican foods . abuelita started when eugene suarez , sr . and eugene suarez , jr . produced their first corn tortilla on june 3 , 1971 in a tiny tortilla factory in herndon , virginia . from these humble beginnings grew a company with a 36 , 000 square foot facility and over 60 employees based in manassas park , virginia .
as they get inside the house , they are received by abuelita ' s grandson , tuco salamanca . she tries to explain to tuco the situation , but the twins continue to threaten to call the police and that they need money , lars even calls abuelita a
biznatch
, which annoys tuco . he then calms down his grandmother and convinces her to go to her room and watch her soap opera as he deals with the twins . later on , after hearing strange noises , abuelita leaves her room and spots tuco cleaning blood from the carpet , which he convinces her that it ' s only salsa that he spilled and she goes back to watching her soap opera
but in a technology - based age , we can’t survive on abuelita knowledge alone . there have been other avenues for folks to start advocating for their own and each other’s reproductive health that go against the westernized grain . buzzfeed’s spin - off channel , pero like , has released videos about periods that help normalize conversations around cycles through a latino lens . will abuelita knowledge , which a lot of us hold as sacred , become commodified by buzzfeed ? at what cost does representation in media ( especially in an industry like youtube ) come ? will the earnest - yet - humble habits of our grandmothers become tropes in the end ? how can outlets like buzzfeed , which align themselves as allies to marginalized communities through culture - specific channels , find a way to make abuelita knowledge accessible without co - opting it ?
indeed , many black and brown young folks learn through abuelita knowledge passed down generationally well before they’re indoctrinated with the westernized perspectives and conventional wisdom about reproductive health that are part of the menstruation - industrial complex . these include menstrual products that are expensive , wasteful , and toxic to the body and a westernized birthing industry that scoffs at and forbids indigenous birthing practices—to say nothing of a larger culture that shames immigrant communities and their inventive methods of treating illness and pain , like my grandmother’s tortilla technique . through community activism in their home of los angeles and online knowledge shares that reach participants globally , la loba is making space for people to strengthen communities , and elevating young folks who rely on abuelita knowledge to take care of themselves .
our tradition has always been to serve champurrado and tamales . in the spirit of the posada season , i wish to share with you the famous champurrado recipe . just in case , champurrado is a special hot chocolate thickened with masa and flavored with piloncillo and aniseeds . when i say special , i mean the famous “chocolate abuelita” . here is the recipe and enjoy !
our institutional foodservice products are purchased by numerous distributors and sold throughout the eastern united states to include : virginia , maryland , new york , pennsylvania , district of columbia , delaware , connecticut , rhode island , massachusetts , north carolina , south carolina , new hampshire , vermont and georgia our nana’s cocina and abuelita tortilla chips are available in retail stores throughout the united states .
such noncommercialized ways of thinking about and treating ailments are what la loba loca refers to as “abuelita knowledge . ” the self - described “queer , chocolla , andina , south american migrant , artist , researcher , writer , handpoke tattooist , full spectrum companion / doula , aspiring midwife student , seed - saver , gardener , and yerbetera” is dedicated to preserving and sharing this knowledge as a political and social practice .
. frightened by the situation , she drives off from the scene and the twins follow her home . as she parks the car in front of the garage , the twins threaten her , accusing her of breaking cal ' s leg and that they want her to do something about the situation . abuelita clearly doesn ' t speak too much english , she invites the twins inside her home so they can find a solution
the classic 6 - inch corn tortilla was the first product ; inspired by the cooking and recipes of carmen – the matriarch of the suarez family and the inspiration of abuelita . whole kernel corn cooked in small batches , then ground with traditional lava stones , create the great taste and texture of truly authentic corn tortillas . now the suarez’ have expanded the product line and offer custom pack services . the original process is still the fundamental basis for all of the corn tortillas and tortilla chips .
i n g r e d i e n t s 1 / 2 cup fresh masa ( corn dough ) or 1 / 2 cup masa flour ( masa harina ) mixed with a 1 / 4 cup hot water to blend 2 1 / 4 cups milk 1 1 / 2 cups water 1 disk mexican chocolate ( chocolate abuelita , chocolate ibarra , etc . ) 3 tablespoons piloncillo , chopped or 1 / 3 cup brown sugar plus 2 teaspoons molasses 1 / 4 teaspoon crushed aniseeds ( optional )
i love this place because it reminds me of my mom ' s cooking , almost on point . the owners are grandma and grandpa and treat you like you are one of theirs . i was super sick and kept buying caldo de res every other day to soothe my throat , the third time i went
abuelita
handed me fresh cinnamon sticks and gave her recipe to a good hot tea to help me fight the cold . they ' re just the best and their food is made with so much love , never lacks flavor or heat . definitely one of my top 5 whole in the wall mexican restaurants in la .
i came here a while ago and their food and customer service was good . i actually really felt like the server was treating me like if she was my abuelita . i tried there chilaquiles con carne asada plate ( half red and half green sauce ) and it tasted really good . however , i do wish that the tortilla chips were thicker ( their too thin for me ) . i like their red sauce better than the green , if you were to ask me . they also served complimentary chips and salsa which it tasted really good . for drink i got horchata which it tasted homemade . overall , great food , good quality , great customer service and will probably come by again if i happen to be around the area .

chocolate came originally from mexico , and hot chocolate is the drink of choice at mexican religious and cultural celebrations , including day of the dead , christmas , easter , and a host of others . in other places , hot chocolate is often made with cocoa powder , which , to me , gives it a chalky taste . in mexico it is traditionally made with chopped mexican - style chocolate . following are two recipes : one for tradtional mexican chocolate and the other a deliriously rich concoction !
if you cannot find mexican chocolate , use semi - sweet chocolate and add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 / 2 teaspoon cinnamon . in mexico , hot chocolate is often made with water , rather than milk , and you can certainly use it . however , i prefer the extra richness of milk . for a truly luxurious , although not traditional version , see the recipe following this one .
break or chop the mexican chocolate into small pieces . place it in a saucepan , add the milk , and bring it to a simmer . stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and completely combined . beat the chocolate to a froth as suggested above . makes 2 cups chocolate .
there are a many hot chocolate mixes on the market , some of them in elegant packages with high prices . most of them are a combination of cocoa powder and dried milk , with the latter making up much of the bulk . the following hot chocolate involves making a base using grated or chopped chocolate and cream , and it is rich and delicious .
1 . make the base . chop the chocolate into very small pieces . ( if you wish , after doing this you can then pulverize it in a food processor , which will make melting it easier ) . bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan . quickly stir in the chocolate , chile powder , allspice , and cloves , remove from the heat and cover the saucepan for 1 minute . after 1 minute , whisk or stir the chocolate until it is completely melted . if not using it immediately , allow the base to cool and refrigerate it .
2 . make the chocolate . combine the base with an equal amount of milk and bring to a simmer . you may also add some kalhua , creme de cassis , or one of the many other chocolate liqueurs .
3 . serving the chocolate . mexicans like their chocolate beaten to a froth . this is traditionally done with a wooden implement called a molinillo . to imitate its action an immersion blender works well . you can also use a regular blender , but be careful to blend only a small amount at a time , using a brief pulse then releasing steam by raising the lid , as hot ingredients have a tendency to explode out of the blender bowl . for one cup , a small milk frother also works very well . makes 1 1 / 2 cups base , or 3 cups hot chocolate . ( it is quite rich and 3 / 4 cup is a reasonable amount per serving ) .
the first time that i was exposed to a posada was during a visit to guadalajara , jalisco , mexico when i was around 10 years old . since then , my sister and i initiated the tradition of having a posada in our neighborhood . we made a pact that our posadas would be as traditional as the one we participated in mexico , all i can say is that we tried . we had them for years at my parents’ house and every year the attendance would get larger . the most rewarding part was seeing the children get so excited over their candy bags and the piñatas .
posadas are a way to reenact mary and joseph’s cold and difficult journey from nazareth to bethlehem in search of shelter ( posada ) . every night is filled with both religious and social celebrations . in our home , the evening started with the group singing outside the house asking for posada ( shelter ) until shelter was offered and that was when the religious part ended and the party begun !
in mexico , every neighbor takes turns to host a posada party a different night from december 16th and it lasts until december 24th when jesus is born . there is plenty of food and drinks with candies and fruit for the children . we had a hard time convincing our neighborhood to have one every night , therefore , our home was the only one to host every year . we didn’t mind at all , as a matter of fact we loved teaching people the traditions of my parents’ home country . traditionally , “boys and girls dressed in silver and gold robes to make up the procession , followed by the adults and musicians . everyone sung melodious songs as they walked slowly along , carrying their lit candles . when they reached the house , the group divided in two . one half remained outside and begged for shelter from the other half , which was inside the house . the doors were then opened , the religious part of the celebration ended , and the fun begun . the happy end to each posada has always been the pinata . ”
i n s t r u c t i o n s place the water and the masa into the jar of a blender and blend until smooth . transfer to a medium sized saucepan .
add the milk , chocolate , piloncillo ( or sugar , molasses combination ) and the aniseeds if you wish to use them . bring the mixture to a simmer , whisking with a molinillo or whisk until the chocolate and sugar is melted and well - blended . strain the mixture through a medium sieve ( optional ) and serve hot , in mugs

crawl space
of breaking bad that joaquin salamanca was the last remaining family member hector salamanca had left , and now that he is dead he tells hector
the name salamanca dies with you .
some have taken this to imply the character is deceased , but this is not definitive given that the character is obviously post - menopause and family names are not generally passed along by the mother in american countries .

was visiting a client in the area and popped in here for lunch . decor is casual and colorful . the parking lot is small and i grabbed the last spot around 11 : 45 . alternative is street parking . the menu has a lot of options . i chose the camarones al mojo de ajo . about 6 or 7 shrimp , grilled in a nice amount of fresh garlic , side salad and beans and rice . shrimp were flavorful and tender , not overcooked . beans and rice were ok , nothing spectacular . served with hot corn tortillas . i also had a coffee . while the coffee isn ' t as strong as i ' d prefer it ' s served mexican style with a nice taste of cinnamon . chips look like they are fried in house . salsa is thick , greenish colored and has a little bite . i service was fine . i got a refill on the coffee when i ran low , orders were taken once we put down our menus : ) and check was provided on request . ' ll certainly pop in here again the next time i ' m in the area .
1 . horrible parking 2 . slow service 3 . i guess they tend to cater to the regular customers only 4 . waited long time for our food . 5 . i had a menudo . . . yuck . . bland . undercooked meat . since when does menudo come with hominy also , not sure if they confused the herbs they cooked it with but it tasted like mint . . 6 . hand made tortillas were good . 7 . green chilaquiles and beans were ok . urltoken is nicely decorated love all the mexican decor . . 9 . not once did they come and ask if we needed more coffee . 10 . ordered 2 tamales . huge but not good . . they tasted like they were sitting in the fridge for a week . 5hey were stiff they had been reheated so many times . .
quaint little place with the cutest little old lady and man who take your order and make you feel right at home . the food is great , but i did order the tamales twice and the first time was great ! however , for some reason the second time i ordered they added something else to it . i wish it was consitent becasue i wish i had the same thing as before . love the pupusas ! happy there is a place in the middle of all the asian food i can get good pupusas . i know it does take time to make , but i do wish the food time didn ' t take so long . overall , great food and great service !
a mom and pops type restaurant with mexican home - style cooking . the dining area is decorated with colorful fabric banners , hearts , butterflies , trinkets , lanterns , and other random assortment of embellishments , it ' s borderline gaudy , but still interesting to look at while waiting for our food to arrive . the portions are extra large . i got the super nachos and they were a very generous sized portion . they were pretty good . my daughter had the chicken quesadilla , and she only ate one slice because it was gigantic . service was good , they didn ' t talk much to us , but the server was nice enough to give my daughter a little bracelet as a gift .
i really enjoyed my dining experience here the food was really good and the service was very friendly and cordial . i will definitely be returning to this location to try their other dishes .
amazing service , didn ' t wait for our table . our waitress was extremely sweet and welcoming . the meals came out hot and so tasty ! ! ! the cafe de la olla was really good ! ! ! im definitely coming back and bringing friends .
really good food , portions are small and a bit expensice . very sweet urltoken parking space in the back . 3 . 5 stars .
delicious food and service ! very clean and you can tell they used fresh ingredients . . the pupusas were delicious and the salsa very hot . i really recommend this place
very good . great taste , good service . if you are looking for authentic home made mexican food this is the place to go !
try it or skip it ? an awesome mom and pop family restaurant . i always enjoy dining here . big fan of there mexican style coffee , or as the owner calls it ,
coffecito
everything i ' ve tried , from the mole enchilada , to the machaca breakfast plate has been terrific . she also makes a mean coconut juice from the fresh coconuts they have . oohhhh man . her staff of cooks are also very friendly and accommodating . great mexican soul food most definitely give this place a try .
nice little mom and pop restaurant . the small interior is very colorful and intimate . food selection is typical for a mexican restaurant . the food is homey , very good , and served in generous portions . the house hot sauce is spicy , but addicting . the service is friendly and prompt . the restaurant has a small private lot in the back , but there is also ample street parking . will be back .
parking : small private lot or residential parking . $ 10 a plate for lunch / brunch . yes , this restaurant looks like a little house ! i ordered the tongue plate with salsa verde , rice , beans , and tortilla . i liked it and it was enjoyable but i felt like the tongue was nothing special . it did not have your usual kbbq texture ; it was more like a shredded meat . it was soaked in green salsa but i don ' t think it was very flavorful . - the decor is cozy chic with a mix of home . - decent prices - very friendly service , however , i do not think they speak english well . they mixed up my mom ' s order but it ' s fine . honest mistake - bring cash would i go back ? no
so happy to find this little gem . food tasted well like my grandma ' s food . the pozole by far the best , the flavor and the pork just melts in your mouth . the menudo is also great . not to mention it comes with some homemade tortillas . the ladies working there and owner so sweet . exceeded my expectations !
i wandered in one day craving for a wet burrito . i asked for carne asada wet burrito with everything . the lady who felt like my abuela gave me a choice of red or green sauce . i opted for the red sauce since that ' s what she recommended . i sat down and enjoyed the ambiance as i waited for my burrito to be made . about 5 - 10 minutes later , my massive burrito was ready to be taken home to be feasted upon . she made light conversation as we waited for her newly acquired credit card machine with a chip card reader to work its magic . fast forward , i ' m taking a bite out of my burrito . it ' s lacking . . tortilla everywhere . second bite , better . i ' m tasting more ingredients . third bite , even better . from then on , it was a variation of those three bites . the ingredients weren ' t thoroughly mixed , as most burritos aren ' t . it ' s good , but there ' s definitely a lack of magic . . . i ' d walk back here , since it ' s my neighbor , but yeah . . .
this is the 3rd time i have been here . the pupusas are so delicious and the cheese enchiladas melted in my mouth . i love the decor of the place . none of the itemsare scattered around and have any rhyme or reason to them but they fit perfectly . the service is not always quick , but they treat you like family . you feel at home
we had high hopes per the reviews and pics on yelp . since we were staying nearby , we decided to visit around 7pm on a sunday evening . it is setup as a very colorful interior setting when you walk in . i approach since i didn ' t know if we sat ourselves or wait for a hostess . an older lady who i assume is the owner poke her head from a room and ask how many in our party . i inform her two adults and two children , she instructed us to go sit over there and someone would be with us . menus are on the table along with silverware . now believe me , just initial vibe , i honestly thought i stumbled on my tia concha kitchen where the aroma is inviting and you always ask for seconds . not the case , an older gentleman appeared ready to take the order , his mustache resembled the famous mexican actor cantiflas . although there a lot to choose for , i opted for the carne asada hurache and specifically asked for it to be well done . hubby ordered the mojarra frito . when food arrived , the fish was not fully cook inside as taste like it had been old . no flavor or seasoning . now my hurache comes out and the hurache is white as the napkin next to me . of course i couldn ' t ask then to send it back since it was full of lettuces , cream , and carne asada . i decided to bite into it and yes not fully cook . believe me i ' m a firm believer to support mom & pop shops and truly feel we may have came on an off day but seriously would not come again and recommend this place . there was a total of three parties including our so its not like it was dead and we were the only ones there .

when i was younger and my family was in between houses , we lived with my grandparents . there , my grandmother instilled in my sisters and me rituals and practices she learned growing up in mexico , and then later , as an immigrant to the united states . these ranged from reusing food containers ( the royal dansk cookie tin that stored sewing supplies , the butter container filled with salsa roja ) , to mixing the last of a disinfectant soap with water to get more a few more washes . growing up in her small rancho in zacatecas , my grandmother did not have access to many modern menstrual products , much less the midol and lunapads that are now staples of young women’s coming of age .
one night after i first started my cycle , my grandmother came into the bedroom i shared with my sister holding tortillas she had warmed on the stove . she instructed me to lay down and placed a circular cloth tortilla warmer on my lower abdomen in place of a heating pad . short on money and access , she and the women before her were inventive , resourceful , and inadvertantly eco - conscious in their use of washable menstrual rags , cramp - soothing concoctions , massage , and more .
although there are undoubtedly other yerbeteras , brujas , and healers in communities across the nation who are actively resisting white / eurocentric ways of healing and treating reproductive health , la loba loca is a central figure in making this movement more mainstream and accessible to communities of color displaced by gentrification or other effects of white supremacy , who are often left without access to moon circles or community shares of resources like handsewn menstrual pads or essential oils and teas . la loba loca responds to this by offering “rad menstruation” webinars , plant and medicine seedlingships ( seed swaps ) , and a radical and conscious mooning knowledge share ( “mooning” is another word for a menstrual cycle ) . although there are fees to participate , la loba also offers scholarships on a need basis , and they often travel to other parts of the united states , holding seedling swaps and other service exchanges with black and brown communities to pass on the hand - me - down traditions of immigrant and working - class communities . la loba’s focus is educating folks who are often left out of reproductive - health conversations .

champion broadband is no longer in business .

its customer base was acquired by giggle fiber .

although gigglefiber reportedly acquired the internet provider services , champion still operates the cable tv services .

both companies are still owned and run by mark and dave haverkate .

champion broadband

my parents signed up with altrio back almost a decade ago . ever since champion took over service has…
when you see this , call champion & ask them to refresh your equipment . better make sure it ' s during hours they ' re open though !
champion broadband is excellent if you like speeds ranging from 10bps to maybe 2mbps ! ! ! ! ! every weekday i have to stop working on my computer once 5pm hits and am lucky if i get 2mbps . i am losing money , every day . they are constantly telling us they are
upgrading
their lines and send a rep over at 10am on a weekday , when of course the speeds are optimal . don ' t waste your money unless you are stupid like i am and have had it with timewarner . the reps are nice and they at least try and help . i just wish they wouldn ' t advertise 10mbps speeds and not actually give you that . there is no reason for it to fluctuate that much . epic fail .
i don ' t know what everyone is complaining about . i have had champion now for over a year and everyone their is so friendly . although i did have some internet issues during peak hours for a while it stopped happening a long time ago . earlier i had an outage but it was actually due to a power outage in the area . i didnt really know and the champion lady i spoke to said their appeared to be a power outage but should be back soon . she was pretty friendly and funny enough i am back up . almost as i hung up . . . . lol .
i don ' t know why everyone is hating on champion . if they ' re not happy with their service after months and months , then they should just switch providers ! i ' ve been with champion from the start . ever since it was altrio back in 2001 ( earlier ? ) . i haven ' t had any cable , internet speed , or any other service issues with these guys and the instant i called when i ever did , they got right down to fixing the problem and did so right away . any once in a long while that i have to stop by the office to take care of any small issue from paying a bill to swapping out a modem for an upgrade , it was done in a very timely manner . you go , champs .
i am hoping that timewarner buys out champion very soon . the internet service is not up to modern standards . i pay for 20mbps and i end up with a wide range of speeds depending on the time . weeknights are often around 3mbps . latency ( i currently play diablo 3 ) during those times range from 120ms to 1600ms . my only other high speed internet option is verizon dsl ( no fios in my area of monrovia ) with a max of about 3mbps , which i may consider instead . their tv service may be a wonderful value but a company that offers a service should provide adequate service 24 / 7 , not some of the time . make sure to ask if champion is the only
high
speed option before you consider moving to monrovia ( or arcadia ) . if it is , try moving somewhere else .
extremely poor customer service . period . just when i thought time warner couldn ' t be any worse , ta - da ! champion ! not only they did not return my calls ( seriously ? when i already told the sale representative that id like to sign up for internet service . . . ) , they basically don ' t care about anything . they kept on saying they ' d get back to me , but they never did . . . . i guess i ' m stuck with time warner . . . . . . . sigh
i don ' t watch much tv , so the quality of internet is more relevant to me . so apparently champion offers some international channels that my family watches sometimes . the internet access & speed is terrible . tested the speed in jan 2014 , download ranges 2 . 90 mbps / upload 0 . 77 mbps . at times i often experience isp has no internet available , or sometimes in evenings online audio / video meetings become jittery and delay . impossible to watch video streams . overall you just got this frustration doing stuffs online . it ' s 2014 , no developed world resident should experience such limiting living standard !
my parents signed up with altrio back almost a decade ago . ever since champion took over service has been in a decline . my parents recently
upgraded
to the 10 mbit connection from the 1 . 5 mbit they ' ve been using since they signed up . i get to my parents house today and hop online . hmmmm it ' s kind of slow , let me speedtest this thing . what . . . 500 + ms latency ! ? unheard of ! power cycle the modem and connect my macbook directly to it . . . . 0 . 38 mbit down ! ? ! wtf is this ! pinging google gives the same latency if not worse ! this is absolutely unacceptable . without me my parents would be getting absolute shit service . do not sign with this company . even time warner is better than this . on another note : verizon bring fios internets please damn it !

a year later . . . . the internet is mostly usable but pretty lousy at peak hours . very serious issues with throughput and still experiencing packet loss intermittently both on and off peak . the customer service tries to be nice , but are ultimately unable to do anything for you . incredible waste of time , and incredibly expensive for something that only works well about 50 % of the time . am i really going back to dsl ? ? ?

istanbulkart is a contactless smart card for fare payment on public transport in istanbul , turkey .

it was introduced on march 23 , 2009 in addition to , and to eventually replace , the akbil , an integrated electronic ticket system ( akbil ibuttons are now being phased out as of 2015 ) .

the card was developed and put into practice by the information technology company belbim of the metropolitan municipality .

the istanbulkart is valid for boarding buses , funiculars , lrt , subway , commuter trains , ferryboats and trams operated by the metropolitan municipality and private companies .

cash payment on these transport systems is not possible .

reduced fees are applicable for up to five transfers within two hours to other vehicles on the transportation network .

there are four different types of the istanbulkart , one ordinary and three special .

the special cards are issued upon the holder 's legal eligibility , and are therefore personalized : ordinary card : for full fare payment , mavi kart ( blue card ) ( season ticket ) : seasonal ticket discounted on monthly use basis , discounted card : for students , teachers , senior citizens ( over 60 years of age ) free card : for handicapped or disabled persons , senior citizens ( over 65 years of age ) and government employees underway on duty .

the ordinary cards may be acquired from offices at major transport interchanges for a nonrefundable deposit of 10 tl .

it can be purchased for 6tl from vending machines located at metro entrances .

the remaining sum will be deposited on the card .

afterwards , the cards can be loaded with credits up to 300 tl at these offices , special purpose machines , vending machines on the metro or at news-stands and small shops which offer this service .

cards for a limited number of passes ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 or 10 ) are also available .

unlike the ordinary cards , the special cards are issued on a named basis , so they require an application to be made at one of the 13 application centers , or on the internet .

to pay the fare , the smart card is brought into close proximity , up to 8 cm ( 3.1 in ) , with a contactless reader during boarding of the transportation vehicle or at the toll gates of the station .

it is not necessary for the card to touch the reader , cards inside a wallet or a handbag can be also read for rapid payment .

the reader device signals confirmation of the fare payment with an audible sound , and the screen turns green showing the payment and the remaining deposit after a split second .

in case of insufficient deposit on the smart card , the card reader shows the warning message " yetersiz bakiye " ( insufficient deposit ) on its display along with an audible warning .

counterfeit cards will be confiscated by the bus driver or security personnel at the turnpikes .

the istanbulkart is compatible with international standards such as iso/iec 7816 and iso/iec 14443 and is built using nxp 's desfire technology .

its use is planned to be extended to payments at municipality operated parking lots and theatres , as well as for privately owned taxis , dolmuş ( share taxis ) and movie theatres .

the personalized type of the smart card can also be used in a more general form for admission to an event or establishment or for municipality provided social welfare purposes .

istanbulkart

istanbulkarts are sold by istanbulkart vending machines and supposedly by biletmatik machines , but the latter sometimes will not sell you an istanbulkart .
can someone please let me know what the current fare prices are for the istanbulkart .
the istanbulkart , which has superceded the older akbil transit pass , benefits from discounted fares . more . . .
istanbulkart rfid fare card , istanbul . this is an anonim kart , the best one for short - term visitors .
the istanbulkart project envisions that eventually the istanbulkart will be used to pay for parking fees , taxi fares , admission to museums , cinemas , theaters and other cultural venues , and even for personal identification . you may find other ways to use it for small payments .
by the way you get a substantial discount by using an istanbulkart . normal fare is 3 tl / ride by using the tokens , but with the istanbulkart it drops down to 1 . 95 tl for the first ride ( a 35 % discount over regular fare ) and you get further and deper discounts for transfer rides within 2 hours of initial usage . so istanbulkart is the way to go .
just a short question . what is the price for istanbulkart - 6 or 10 tl . since there are both information here on the forum .
the public transportation in istanbul is an integrated system administrated by the local government . most vehicles may be accessed by tokens or istanbulkart ; but some such as busses can only be accessed by the istanbulkart . having this card will give you access to all public transport means in istanbul except private ones .
well , following the forums very closely , i have never seen those reports . istanbulkart has always been sold at the metro station at the ataturk airport .
2 . place your card flat on the sensor pad labeled istanbulkart ( it ' s to the right of the display screen and buttons in the photo below ) .
xl p , i wonder how such figures float in the internet . the deposit ( refundable ) on the istanbulkart is 6 tl . so basically , it is free .
do kiosks and vendors sell the istanbulkart at the airport , or is the istanbulkart only available at the airport metro station ? i guess i could head out to the metro station to buy the card before heading back to hunt for a cab , but that ' s more work than i want to ask of myself after arriving at an unfamiliar airport after a long flight .
i also could buy the istanbulkart the first time i use transit the next day . is it sold at all metro stations , or ( better still ) both metro and tram stations ?
if you were to buy tokens for each ride , you would be looking at a cost of approximately 5try ( $ 1 . 50 usd ) per ride per person . instead of that , you can purchase the istanbulkart from the yellow machines located in all stations of the public transportation system except the bus station . with the istanbulkart your per person cost will be as follows :
there are no daily or weekly istanbulcards . just one kind , and that is the istanbulkart . you just load the card with credits ( fares ) anytime and as much as you want .
i ' ve seen conflicting reports about whether you can get a refund on the 10 lira deposit when you return your istanbulkart . has anyone actually gotten one ? was it for 10 lira or another amount ? is there any particular place i should buy and / or return my istanbulkart to get a refund ? do i need to hold onto a receipt or anything else to get it ?
you can buy an istanbulkart at some newsstands for tl 7 or 8 , with no fare credit on it . some hotels may sell istanbulkarts to their guests at various prices , as a convenience .
istanbulkart is an rfid
electronic wallet
card to be used in istanbul , turkey . ( similar rfid cards are used in many other cities : oyster card in london , navigo in paris , charlie card in boston , etc . )
you may also be able to buy an istanbulkart at commercial kiosks ( little stands that sell newspapers , snacks , cigarettes , chewing gum , etc . ) near major transit stops such as eminönü , sultanahmet , beyazıt / kapalı çarşı ( grand bazaar ) , taksim square , etc . ( the easiest place to find one is probably eminönü . ) look for the word istanbulkart or akbil or phrase dolum noktası ( refill point ) on kiosks—they ' ll probably have istanbulkarts to sell and load .
chris , istanbulkart is not sold at the arrivals hall at the airport but at the metro station at the underground level which can only be accessed by the escalators going down to the station after you exit from the terminal building . plus there is a bit of a walk at the station to the vending machines . so my advice is skip this process , take a taxi to your hotel directly , and the next day get your istanbulkart from the tram or metro station you want to use first .
once the card is loaded , you will be able to ride with discounts . at stations or within the busses where the istanbulkart is accepted , there will be card readers ; just bring your card close once for each passenger you want to pay for .
you can use one istanbulkart to pay for several passengers . place the card on the sensor , allow a passenger to go through the turnstile , place the card on the sensor again , second passenger goes through , etc . if you transfer to another vehicle in the transport system , thefare for the first passenger using the card is discounted , but fares for any additional passengers using the card are full - fare ; so if you plan to do a lot of traveling on public transport , you may want an istanbulkart for each passenger .
the first and obvious use of the istanbulkart is as a transit pass : you place the card on the turnstile sensor ( say , at a metro or ferryboat turnstile , or when boarding a city bus ) and the amount of your fare is deducted from the card .
you first need to credit money to the card in order to be able to use it for your rides . crediting the card is simple . nearly at all public transport stations , there are atm - like machines where you simply scan your card and deposit cash to load your istanbulkart .
istanbulkart is available at the saw airport . use the vending machine ( which works with lira bills and credit card ) to obtain one . you can also use the vending machines to top up your card with as much credit as you ' d like . the machines in the city works only with lira bills .
i ' ll be arriving at ataturk airport late in the evening , and plan to take a cab to my hotel . i hope to do most of my traveling by transit on following days , and so would like to buy an istanbulkart as soon as i arrive at ist , before heading out to the taxis .
travel from europe to asia for 2 . 15tl ? yes you can—with an istanbulkart aboard a bosporus ferry . if you’re planning to use public transportation in istanbul , then it pays to buy an istanbulkart . the swipe card provides discounted fares for istanbul’s metro ( train ) , marmaray , trams , funiculars , ferries and buses . instead of paying 4tl ( us $ 2 . 00 ) per person per trip for a jeton ( token / ticket ) , pay only 2 . 15tl—sometimes less—with an istanbulkart . that’s a significant saving if you’re staying for a few days , and it ' s the cheapest ticket for travel from europe to asia ! to buy the card , look for magazine and confectionary kiosks near tram and metro stations displaying the words ' istanbulkart ' or ' akbil dolum noktası ' ( refill point ) . ask the shopkeeper for an istanbulkart , pay 10tl for the card , and add credit for your journeys . one card can be used for up to five people . to board a tram , metro , marmaray , funicular or ferry simply swipe the card for each person at a turnstile near the platform / port . a screen on the turnstile will display your ticket price and the credit remaining . buses do not accept cash fares , so swipe the card at the machine at the front of the bus as you enter . when credit wanes , top - up at selected ticket machines near tram and train platforms or at the kiosks . note : the price above is for an adult fare ( people aged over 7 years ) for most journeys . special journeys , such as those to the princes ' islands , will charge more . children under 7 are free .
i have a question regarding the istanbulkart ; i understand that you can you use it to pop in credit and just pay as you go . i am going with my wife soon and i wanted to know whether they have an option for you to get like a daily or weekly pass for discounted rate ( just like in london or paris ) or you just have to pay for each trip separately ?
i could , and i might well , do that . but i would feel better about doing so if i knew for a fact that it was a choice made sincerely out of generosity and not just as a byproduct of a flawed system . so i still want to know , is there any particular place i should buy and / or return my istanbulkart to get a refund ? do i need to hold onto a receipt or anything else to get it ?
you can purchase the i̇stanbulkart from the yellow machines located in every station of the subway , trams , metrobus , funiculars and some kiosks located near most stops of the public buses . as of 2018 , the cost of the card is only 6 turkish liras ( from the machines ) or 7 turkish liras ( from most kiosks ) and you need to credit it only with as low as you need for your ride . 1 card can be used by multiple people .
i just came back from istanbul and i confirm that the deposit for the istanbulkart is 6 tl . you load it with as many credits as you wish , depending on your journeys around the city and how long you ' ll stay . i ' d load it with a 20 tl credit for a start . each time you use it , you see in the machine the rest of your credit . so , when it ' s little left , you can reload it .
tygerwillow , the deposit on the istanbulkart is a mere 6 tl . ( 3 . 40 usd ) get it from hundreds of kiosks ( where they sell nespapers , magazines , etc ) all around the city . and when you leave just give it as atip to someone who deserves it or to another fellow traveller . or keep it as a sovenir that can be used at your return to istanbul . the balance of credits on the card comes on the screen every time you use it .
istanbul kart ( istanbul card ) is in essence an all - round public transportation boarding pass . to immediately answer the question raised in the title : yes it is worth getting one if you plan to use public transportation multiple times during your stay in istanbul . so , unless you prefer to do everything on foot or take a taxi to get around , please do continue reading to find out where to get it , how to use it , and the advantages it has .
the card was introduced in 2009 . it’s a contact less or rfid ( radio - frequency identification ) card for public transportation fare payment . it has the exact same size as a regular credit card , so it fits perfectly in your wallet . the card is pre - paid and easily rechargeable .
there are quite a few advantages to getting an istanbul kart as opposed to buying a token or a ticket every time you’re going to use public transportation .
multi - purpose — this single card enables you to pay for multiple types of transportation : buses , metros , ferries , funiculars , and tramways ( yes , even the nostalgic one running on istiklal caddesi ) . moreover , most of these transportation types no longer accept cash payments , so you’ll have to buy some kind of token or ticket before boarding anyway .
pre - paid — istanbul kart is a prepaid and rechargeable card . this means that you don’t have to stand in line ( and maybe miss the bus or tram ) to get a valid boarding pass every time you plan to make use of public transportation . and uploading more credits can be done at designated machines , most of the times without a queue in front of you .
ease of use — it is not necessary to bring the istanbul kart in contact with the reader . you can pay for your fare by ‘waving’ the smart card within 8 cm ( 3 . 1 in ) of the reader . in most cases you don’t even have to take it out of your wallet , purse or light hand bag . upon making a successful payment , the reader will make a sound and the screen will light up showing the amount left on the card . in case of insufficient funds , the screen will read kontör yetersiz .
multiple travelers — there is no need to buy multiple cards since one istanbul kart can be used for up to 5 passengers . after paying the fare for the first passenger , let him or her hop on or pass through the turnpike , wait a few seconds , and again wave the card in front of the reader . personally , i recommend not to use the card for more than 3 people .
discounts — by using the card , you already benefit from a 40 % discount over the normal fare . instead of paying 5 tl per ride , you pay 3 tl . and there is more . you can make until five transfers / connections within a two hour period , and you’ll pay less for every transfer , already only 1 . 9 tl for the first transfer .
the easiest way to get the istanbul kart is at major transit stops such as the airport , sultanahmet , and eminönü . to buy an istanbul kart , you need to pay a non - refundable 10 tl fee ( for the actual card and the service ) , and of course an amount of your choice to load onto the card .
to reload the card , you can either go to newsstands and small shops ( look for the phrase akbil dolum noktası ) which offer this service , or use self - service special purpose machines at major transit stations . the machines accept notes of 5 , 10 , and 20 tl and have instructions in multiple languages . it writes on the machines that it accepts 50 tl too , but it has been cancelled .
there are several types of cards . the anonim kart is the best for short - term visitors : you just put money on it and use it . other cards are those for turkish students , monthly commuters , retired and handicapped , etc . , but the anonim kart is the one for you .
you put a tl 10 note into the machine to buy the card , which costs tl 6 and comes with tl 4 in fare credit on it . if you want more fare credit , you can insert more bills to load more credit . i ' d suggest at least tl 10 in credit ( three + fares ) for a single traveler , or tl 20 for a couple . here are the fares .
istanbulkarts are also on sale at the atatürk airport ( ist ) metro station . more . . .
it ' s quite simple to put more money on your card when you understand the process . there ' s a display screen and recorded voice prompts with english - language option , but you can ignore them . ( imagine : a learning curve you don ' t have to climb ! )
3 . wait 5 to 10 seconds for the sensor to identify it . ( the display screen will change and the recorded voice will say something . )
4 . slide a tl5 , 10 or 20 note into the kağıt para girişi / banknotes money slot .
5 . wait 10 seconds for the money to be loaded . ( the display will change and the voice will say something different . )
another version : put your card flat on the pad to the left , stick a banknote in the slot at top right . ( kağıt para girişi =
paper money entrance
)
unfortunately in istanbul , unlike in many cities in europe , there are no daily or weekly unlimited public transportation options and the service is charged per ride . for that reason , we provide 24 - hour access to the hop - on & hop - off bus tour and 1 - loop / 1 - day free access to the hop - on & hop - off boat tour .
the card is not personal and can be used my multiple individuals . you do not have to scan ( pay ) for kids that are under the age of 6 .
buy istanbul tourist pass to get free public transportation discount card and & more . .
this card does not have a validity in terms of days or hours . the card will come without any balance , so you need to put money in it at any public transport station . as long as it has enough balance , it can be used at any time .
the card is valid almost at all public transport vehicles such as busses , tram , metro , funiculaire , cable car , ferries , ships etc . instead of buying a token , just scan the card once for each passanger .

i bought one last june and it cost tl . 6 and then you load it with the amount of credits you want . it might have gone up since then but i would not have thought to that amount .
this information was written by people who returned from istanbul a week ago . maybe they were victims of a fraud ?

tygerwillow , you can get a refund for the deposit at any of the manned newsstands that sells these cards . they are at main hubs like taksim , kadikoy pier , eminonu , etc .
if we are 2 people , can we use the same card ? or do we need 2 separate cards . i am not worried about the deposit , i like your idea of passing it along or saving it for a return trip .
ssbelltx , you can use the same card for 2 or more people . sure . but of course you will be travelling together all the time . in this case though , only the first user gets the transfer discounts , the second user pays 1 . 95 tl / ride for all his / her rides .
thank you enigma . so , it definitely makes sense to each get one . i appreciate the advice .

back in march this year when i visited , it was 3tl for the first journey and then 2 . 15tl after that if you got the tram / ferry within a certain time i think . is this still the case or are there new rates ?
the reason i ask is that there will be 6 of us visiting so i ' m trying to work out on how many i should get between the 6 of us to use .
it depends what form of transport you ' re using . but you only get the discount once , not if you use the same card for multiple people .
thanks and yes i know you only get the discount once . i will mainly be using the card for tram and ferry . i just wanted confirmation as to whether there is a standard charge of 3tl or 2 . 5tl or is it 3tl for first trip and then 2 . 15 for the second trip .
i am thinking of getting 3 cards for 6 people so that the first person pays 3tl and the second pays 2 . 15tl if that makes sense .
boat , proper answer to your question is
none of your choices
. the first ride ride is 2 . 15 tl and the subsequent rides are progressively cheaper . here are the regular fares and the transfer discounts within 2 hours of initial use of the card :
urltoken
. these discounts apply to the first user only . subsequent users always pay 2 . 15 tl .
oh ! thanks enigma - i must have got it all wrong but never mind .
you can buy one from the arrivals hall at the airport before you leave to find a taxi . i don ' t know how late you ' ll arrive but public transport runs until midnight .
oh that ' s new then as others have reported buying from the kiosk in arrivals near some of the telephone company stands . perhaps it ' s been moved now .
thanks , sarikanarya and enigma2007 , for your responses . i ' ll keep an eye out for a likely kiosk when i arrive . if i don ' t find one , i ' ll plan to pick up the card when i take my first transit ride the next day .
i do not know where you stay , but straight down from the gülhane tram stop there is a shop , red something that sells . also above left of the sultanahmet tram stop there is a kiosk selling .
