Urla garage → Urla State Hospital → Urla centre → İskele → Kalabak → Zeytinalanı → motorway → Balçova → Fahrettin Altay transfer centre. The metro (F. Altay – Evka 3) starts there, connecting to Konak, Basmane and Bornova, and to İZBAN at Hilal. Total 60–90 minutes depending on traffic; mornings towards İzmir and evenings towards Urla take longest.
İzmirim Kart is valid; 984 uses the distance-based pay-as-you-go tariff — tap in and tap out, otherwise the full fare is charged. Summer evenings get crowded between İskele and Zeytinalanı; board at the garage for a seat. For the airport: metro from F. Altay to Hilal, then İZBAN to Adnan Menderes — allow close to 2 hours. For Çeşmealtı see line 738 and the minibuses.
