The system consists of a single 15.4 km (9.6 mi) long line running north from Darıca to Gebze The metro system will be the first network to exist outside of a provincial capital in Turkey, as Gebze and Darıca are located within the Kocaeli Province.
Construction began in late 2018, but inauguration date has been delayed regularly.[3][4][5] As of February 2025, the line is expected to open in late 2026.[6]

Most of the metro line will be underground, except for a 900 m (3,000 ft) section which will be at-grade. The line will interchange with TCDD Taşımacılık high-speed and intercity trains along with Marmaray commuter trains to Istanbul at Gebze railway station. A maintenance facility and a control center will be constructed at Pelitli, in north Gebze.[2]
The first of a total of 28 driverless trains was delivered late 2023.[7] Journey time is expected to be 19 minutes and the projected daily ridership is expected to 4,800.
