I'm going to start a general thread about travelling by dolmus over in the Travelling to Turkey Forum - but this one is about the language needed to travel effectively by dolmus.

We have already discussed a little about this in this thread but there is of course more to travelling than being able to address the driver!!!

So - how do we say we want to stop and get out in between dolmus stops. I have seen inecek var for this but that doesn't seem to make much sense as it is in third person.

If we are travelling in a dolmus and want it to stop - above the noise of general chatter could we say:
pardon şofer, burada durdurabilüz lütfen çünkü şimdi inmek istiyorum
or would durabilüz be better?

Quoting scalpel:

here is the jargon of dolmuş to stop the dolmuş and get out between the stops:

inecek var (best choice)
müsait yerde indirebilir misiniz? (you don't need to be such polite)
sağda indir (it's absurd but used)
burada inebilir miyim? (why not?)



Is it necessary to first attract the attention of the driver first with something like pardon şofer

I don't think there are many in Turkia - at least not in the remote parts that we will be visiting. There are probably some in the cities.

But in England there are quite a few
