TL;DR
The tourist Istanbulkart has no tap-delay between passengers and no refunds. Spending is capped at 2,750 TRY per card per month.
The tourist Istanbulkart offers no refunds whatsoever. If you plan to use public transport heavily, consider buying at least two cards, since each has a monthly spending cap of 2,750 TRY.
The tourist Istanbulkart works like a standard transit card: tap once per passenger at the turnstile. Unlike some other cards, the red tourist version has no cooldown period between taps. There is no need to tap out after a ride, and no cashback or refunds apply.
