Ankara's main bus terminal, ASTI, is a mammoth building south-west of the city centre, with hundreds of buses roaring in and out every hour on routes to all cities and large towns in Turkey.
ASTI is an acronym for Ankara Sehirlerarasi Terminal Isletmesi (Ankara Intercity Terminal Administration)—so you can see why everyone prefers to call it ASTI (or Terminal).
Services at ASTI include ticket offices (yazihane), snack stands, restaurants, pastry shops, book stalls, telephone stations, bank ATMs, toilets, showers, Internet cafés, amusements, a mescit (small mosque), and two Emanetçi (Left Luggage/Baggage Check) counters (on the lower level).
ASTI has its own Ankaray metro/underground train station, with a covered passage connecting the terminal and the station.
The airport bus from Esenboga Airport begins and ends its route at ASTI, passing the Ankara Gar (railway station) on the way to and from the airport.
