How To Go From Trabzon Airport (TZX) To City Center by Public Transfer
The most economical way to travel like a local is by taking the municipal buses or local dolmuş (minibuses) passing along the main road outside the airport.
To catch a dolmus or municipal bus, simply exit the terminal building and walk to the main road platform.
Tickets for minibuses cannot be booked online and must be paid in cash directly to the driver, so make sure you have some Turkish Lira (TRY) on you.
Advantages
It’s a budget-friendly option and no need to worry about flight delays; buses pass continuously throughout the day.
Disadvantages
It can be tiring for families with heavy or multiple suitcases, as well as for elderly passengers.
Public transfer can get quite crowded, especially during rush hour.

One of the classic transportation options you can choose is a taxi. Taxis are at your service 24/7 just outside each terminal exit.
