I am visiting Istanbul for the first time next week, and since my most preparations are done I would like to get informed about transportation system in the city. I know that it is famous for its trams, but I am particularly interested in metro, as it is my preferred means of getting around. Is it built and is it operative?

Hello! Yes, Istanbul has its metro, but it is still under construction. However, there is an operative line which goes from Levant to Osmanbay. However, I don’t quite understand your urge to travel by metro alone, I mean, you can also take tram or bus and reach your desired destination. Public transport in Istanbul is really well, so you shouldn’t worry about that.
