sexpigeon asked: I've noticed you seem to favor schematic diagrams of grade-separated systems that express their own internal logic more than they express their relationship to the street grid. It's a reasonable preference, visually speaking, but it means that there's a dearth of bus maps on your site and a glut of train diagrams. Given that bus transit is what most users are confronted with, have...

Transit Maps has a Facebook Page! →
The Transit Maps page will mirror the content of this blog, thanks to the magic of RSS Grafitti, but should allow easier commenting and discussion than Tumblr - which is great for resharing content, but doesn’t make back and forth conversation very easy. At the moment, I’ve left the Wall open for posting your own images, so feel free to hit it up with anything transit map...

Anonymous asked: I can't figure out how to reply to a post, but I thought I'd respond to your Singapore question. Signs in the stations & streets use the alphanumeric labels for each station much more prominently than the names themselves. This makes some sense in a city with three coexisting cultures and languages, otherwise they'd be forced to have huge signs or tiny text in order to fit the...

Wow! Thanks to you all, and apologies for the slight lack of posts recently. Big deadlines at the real-life job, unfortunately!

Anonymous asked: The T owns. Don't hate. We had the first subway in the Americans and possibly the world so don't even start. Obviously being the first one means that we have all the flaws to work out and since subway building isn't cheap, you do the best you can with what you have, even if it means doing everything you can to work out a flaw that is never really going to go away. As far as the map...

afinaldeparture asked: You should definitely do Stockholm's (Sweden) tube map!
pfirsichkind asked: Hey :) About your rating on Leipzig's map. Putting the lakes on the map is incredibely useful in summer, since it's an easy way to figure out what to take to your favourite beach. Also, even though it's very specific and complicated, for tourists it's still rather easy- most of the important things are within the inner circle, the Ring as it's called in Leipzig and all the...

US Highways as Subway Map Posters: Available to...
There’s still a couple of minor tweaks to make, but 36”x24” posters of my new U.S. Highways as Subway Map posters are now available to order at my website. Due to popular demand, I’ve also brought back my Interstates as Subway poster. Each poster is beautifully digitally printed on superb 250gsm Red River Aurora Fine Art White 100% cotton rag paper, which is acid and...

Crazy Old Day
Wow, looks like my U.S. Highways as Subway Map has gone viral today!
So far, it’s been featured on the Atlantic Wire, io9, Laughing Squid, and Coudal Partner’s “Fresh Signals” (Jim Coudal has always been very supportive of my map work!). Also, try searching for “Subway Map” on Twitter and see what comes up!
What this means: with huge public interest like this,...
Anonymous asked: Re: your St. Louis Metrolink map... I wasn't sure from the way you phrased it, but the the Primary transfer point isn't represented by a P exactly, but by the square surrounding the circled-P (which simply indicates that it's a park&ride station). It just so happens there's only one transfer point so they happened to include the P in the legend for Primary Transfer Station.
