Public Ferry


Explanation:
Şehir Hatları Vapuru → Public Ferry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosphorus#Sightseeing

Sightseeing
*********
The cheapest way to experience Bosphorus in Istanbul would be to take one of the public ferries that travel between the Anatolian and Rumelian sides of the city. They depart every 45 minutes, and cost 1.3 YTL (about 0.80 Euros). There are also faster ferries that take off every 10 minutes, but the slower ones will give you more opportunity to see the city. One can also take a ride on a variety of tourist ships, from modern ones to Ottoman style ones.

agree  A Word For I (X): This one sounds quite natural in English - Commuter Ferry does too but sounds more limited to just workers ,"commuters" ("to commute"), going to and from their place of work. This one covers th broader public, tourists, day-trippers, etc.
