TL;DR
In July 2026 travelers wrote that Antalya public transport accepts AntalyaKart or foreign bank cards, and that a ride paid by bank card cost more — 50 TRY. For two people it is safer to plan on a separate AntalyaKart each: one traveler had found information that one card cannot pay for two passengers on buses.
How to pay: according to a July 2026 message, Antalya public transport accepts AntalyaKart and foreign bank cards. This helps if you have not bought a transport card yet — for example, right after arrival. Cards issued in Russia were explicitly excluded in that message.
Cost: in July 2026 a ride paid by bank card cost 50 TRY, which is more than with AntalyaKart. If you plan to ride often, the transport card works out cheaper. Fares in Turkey change, so check the current price on the spot.
One card for two: in July 2026 a traveler asked whether, as in Istanbul, one card can pay for two people. According to information she had found, one AntalyaKart cannot pay for two passengers on Antalya buses. The practical option is a separate card for each person, or paying with separate bank cards.
