The last archive appearance of the Yenikapı–Bandırma endpoint pair does not prove that the passenger connection closed. The same archive includes itinerary names mentioning Yenikapı while their source endpoints are Kadıköy or Bostancı. Reading this history requires separating endpoint fields from itinerary text.
Exact endpoint matches in each direction
| Direction | Cancelled / records | Share | Observed days | First / last observed | Conflicts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bandırma → Yenikapı | 334 / 1,638 | 20.4% | 803 | 2018-02-21 / 2023-07-30 | 0 |
| Yenikapı → Bandırma | 324 / 1,626 | 19.9% | 807 | 2018-02-21 / 2023-07-29 | 1 |
The source vessel-type label for these exact matches is exclusively “Feribot” (ferry). It does not promise today’s vessel type or vehicle acceptance. The first dates coincide with the archive boundary, not a verified opening. The last dates are not verified permanent closures or official timetable-change dates.

Intermediate-stop names answer a different question
The broader scan below selects records whose “name” contains both Bandırma and Yenikapı. It does not rewrite endpoints or manufacture passenger legs. For example, the name Bandırma–Yenikapı–Kadıköy can also appear in older records with Bostancı endpoints. We do not treat the text as a verified stop list or proof of ticket sales at every stop.
| Source endpoints | Cancelled / records | Observed days | First / last observed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bandırma → Bostancı | 505 / 2,117 | 1,235 | 2018-02-21 / 2021-12-31 |
| Bandırma → Kadıköy | 515 / 3,538 | 1,754 | 2021-11-26 / 2026-09-14 |
| Bandırma → Yenikapı | 334 / 1,638 | 803 | 2018-02-21 / 2023-07-30 |
| Bostancı → Bandırma | 511 / 2,098 | 1,224 | 2018-02-21 / 2021-12-31 |
| Kadıköy → Bandırma | 503 / 3,537 | 1,754 | 2021-11-26 / 2026-09-14 |
| Yenikapı → Bandırma | 324 / 1,626 | 807 | 2018-02-21 / 2023-07-29 |
Name-matched records with Kadıköy endpoints extend from 26 November 2021 through 14 September 2026; those with Bostancı endpoints appear through the end of 2021. The periods overlap. This is not proof of a single-day route conversion. Historical field changes and multi-stop names show why looking only at exact endpoints can produce a misleading closure story.
What should you do when looking for a ticket today?
Check the actual departure and arrival terminals, direction, date and time on your ticket. Do not confuse an intermediate terminal in a name with the archive’s endpoint field. The Yenikapı–Bandırma route guide provides links to current searches in both directions. The archive does not establish today’s journey time, fare, vehicle capacity or service frequency.
Sources, method and checking a sailing today
Cancellation counts use the primary status “İptal Edildi”. The cancellation-share denominator is every record in the stated group; status conflicts are disclosed separately. Missing dates do not create invented sailings. Sales tables use the separately defined eligible completed records.
