How could you replicate the official map's style? That is impressive.

In the metro istanbul website, you can download the map as a .pdf file. and then you can open it in Illustrator(you'll need the font "Frutiger LT Pro" to open it correctly) from there you can copy-paste stuff etc.

Gorgeous, meticulously made piece of work. From afar it gives the Hong Kong MTR vibes. As a potential future tourist in Istanbul, I would love to see a map like this one.
One small thing - since the system is very busy with many lines getting mixed together at different points I would add the line number indicators near the terminals and possibly somewhere along the lines as well for easier navigation

Why don`t the ordinary metro lines cross the Bosporus strait? Only Marmaray, express-metro and BRT (???)
It`s the same idea both for the official plans and this fantasy map.

why would they?
1
Hypothetically, to fulfil the need of transit between the strait sides (that`s my assumption).
Does Istanbul exist as two almost separate cities and is Marmaray enough?)

no istanbul is just one city

Ok, that brings us back to the first question.
Why would this one city with cross-strait commuters flow not connecting regular subway lines across the strait? Why is only Marmaray, "express-metro" and BRT allowed to cross it?

still have to walk over an hour every day (school is in Ulus, live in Tarabya)

Skill issue

Metro in Buyukcekmece would be a gamechanger, especially by the sahil

I have tried to post it in greater sizes but it couldnt work, here is the largest resolution version:
Anyways, This map shows the metro map of Istanbul in an alternate future. It is based on already-existing projects and some made-up lines. The system within the map connects 4 Provinces(Tekirdağ(Çorlu)), Kocaeli, Istanbul and Yalova). with 3 underwater tunnels.
also, i am too lazy to add Metrobüs stations, or trams
