Quoting Deli_kizin: Quoting reBooped: ...and the ones I have used have always been white  - are they not dolmuş? |
The ones İ described are fairly new, so maybe the old ones in Izmir were white. There are white minibuses in İzmir, but they go from small places outside the city to the centre, such as Urla-İzmir, Seferihsar-İzmir, but they are not called dolmuş here. They might be the minibüs Meltem spoke about. |
I understood the ones you told Esther, we call them in İstanbul minibüs. In İstanbul, they are either blue or beige. Look, these are the dolmuş I'm talking about:

In fact, it is not wrong to call yours as dolmuş in İstanbul either, but I think these dolmuş in the picture exist only in istanbul, so in order to make a distinction between them, we call them dolmuş and the others minibüs.  Both of them work just within the city, but in different quartiers.

Never thought a discussion about dolmuş could be so interesting. Or minibüs for that matter 
I searched too, couldnt find a picture of the İzmir-version As a matter of fact, some dolmuş-drivers let people stand when its full in İzmir, though its forbidden. I heard the driver can ask you to bend down if he sees police

 It seems you are getting used to live in turkey, deli kızın!  Still you are very lucky since you live in Izmir.

Wooow! Woow! Woow! What a poetic language you use now! Impressive! Didn't I say you are lucky before? See - Izmir makes people even poet and poetic! (If you had lived in Istanbul, you would probably become a monster now! )

Hey, I'm really offended now! 
Istanbul is such a poetic city. It's important from where you look at İstanbul.
İstanbul has inspired so many poets and musiciens.
I guess you're not a real İstanbullu!
