Local Buses
One of the most popular ways of getting around Northern Kurdistan is by local bus. These buses are usually run by private companies, and their schedules and routes can vary depending on the company. The fares for these buses are generally affordable, making them a good option for budget travelers.
Here's a table of useful vocabulary related to local buses:
| Northern Kurdish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Ceke minibûs | /d͡ʒɛkɛ minɛbuːs/ | minibus stop |
| Bilete | /bilɛtɛ/ | ticket |
| Havir | /havɪr/ | driver |
| Navenda şehîdan | /navɛnda ʃɛhiːdan/ | Martyrs' Square (a common destination in the cities) |
Taxis
Taxis are also a popular form of transportation in Northern Kurdistan. Many travelers prefer taxi rides because they're more comfortable and quicker than buses. Be aware that taxi fares in large cities can be more expensive during peak hours, so negotiate prices beforehand if possible.
Here's a table of useful vocabulary related to taxis:
| Northern Kurdish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Taksi | /taksi/ | taxi |
| Rêber | /ɾeːbɛɾ/ | driver |
| Navenda şehîdan | /navɛnda ʃɛhiːdan/ | Martyrs' Square (a common destination in the cities) |
| Wargeh | /waɾgɛh/ | station |
Shared taxis are somewhat similar to local buses, in that they follow a set route and pick up passengers along the way. However, these taxis are smaller and faster than buses, and often run on more irregular schedules. They can be a good option if you want to travel to a remote area quickly.
Here's a table of useful vocabulary related to shared taxis:
| Northern Kurdish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Taxî | /taxiː/ | shared taxi |
| Havir | /havɪr/ | driver |
| Navenda şehîdan | /navɛnda ʃɛhiːdan/ | Martyrs' Square (a common destination in the cities) |
Hire Cars
If you're looking for a more flexible way to travel, consider hiring a car. That way, you can set your own schedule and visit more remote areas at your own pace. Many travelers find this option to be more comfortable than taking buses or shared taxis.
Here's a table of useful vocabulary related to hire cars:
| Northern Kurdish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Lîstika kirîş | /liːstika kiɾiːʃ/ | rental car |
| Lîstikvan | /liːstɪkvan/ | rental company |
| Bilete | /bilɛtɛ/ | ticket |
| Rêber | /ɾeːbɛɾ/ | driver |
Remember to have your driver's license and car insurance before driving a rental vehicle.
That's it for our overview of transportation in Northern Kurdistan. We hope you found it useful and wish you a pleasant journey!
