The M20, officially referred to as the M20 Sefaköy–TÜYAP Metro Line is a planned rapid transit line in Istanbul.[2][3]

The line was originally conceived as an extension to the M2 line[4] but was later made into its own lines due to conflict and lack of communication between the opposition-controlled Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and the government-controlled Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and was later given the line code M20 on the vision map.[2]
