Metro lines are considered the easiest means of transportation in the city of Istanbul, just like the way it is in the other mega-cities in the world. However, Istanbul is experiencing a great interest in expanding the metro line networks, on both the European and the Asian sides of the city. These metro lines play a key role in the evaluation of the areas they pass through, raising up the prices of the real estates significantly.
Today, there are a lot of metro line projects under construction, and observers expect them to contribute, in a great deal, to raise the value of the areas they are going to serve, especially after the completion of construction and entering service.

In the Asian side of the Turkish capital, many metro lines are under construction, including:
