The metro is NOT the way to go. There has been a lot of new work done and on going, but I don't see it being finished for a while. On the right of the picture you can see where one of the metro stops will be.

A cheap way to get around without a car is the bus(DOLMUSH), a special transportation service found only in Turkey, is a cross between a taxi and mini-bus(VAN) follows specific routes and is recognizable by its yellow band. Passenger pays according to the distance traveled and can get off at almost any place possible.
Dolmus means "filled:" the car or minibus waits at the beginning of its route until most or all of its seats are filled.
Fares are usually under $1 within a city. City-to-village routes, which tend to be longer, may have higher fares but still far less than a private taxi (though usually a bit more than city bus fare.)

I noticed something about Turkey, and that is, as soon as they realize you are not Turkish, the prices seem to inflate. When it comes to dealing with locals get a translator. Forunately for me, my wife is TURKISH, and one heck of a negotiator.
This worked in our favor once again, I believe we paid $200 US for 2 weeks use for a compact car. We found our deal in Incirlik,ADANA, Turkey. Right outside the US/TURKISH AIR BASE. Don't recall the name of the rental company.

the buses are alot cheaper but you need to know a little Turkish to know which one to get on{obviously} and it is good to learn as much Turkish as you can before you go...some of the people do speak english but it could be harder to get around...the taxis are much faster and are pretty reasonable for cost,,it is advisabe to agree to a price BEFORE getting in and know where you are going.....
