As a passenger of a Dolmus(Turkish taxi bus), scared by their driving style, I heard a joke a while ago: "In France, traffic lights are mandatory. In Italy they are optional. In Turkey they are decorative". It looks they took it seriously.
These share taxis depart from the terminal only when a sufficient amount of passengers have
boarded, and the name is derived from Turkish for "apparently stuffed" for this reason.

I always got a kick out of these buses. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmu%C5%9F
