Photo: New Portland MAX Light Rail Map!
Reporting live from the streets of Portland, Oregon, where I’ve just noticed a new map on the ticket machine at my downtown stop. These are being rolled out in preparation for the abolition of the Free Rail Zone (and ALL fare zones!) on September 1st, and I have to say that the removal of the old multi-colored zone rings is a great improvement. The poor old streetcar still gets short shrift (now being a grey […]

Official Map: Metropolitana di Napoli, 2012 (2 of 2)
As promised, here’s the second map of Naples’ Metro system.

Like the previous map, this map also presents something that I’ve never seen before on a transit map: a “Rainbow Line” (arcobaleno in Italian), where each station on the line is assigned its own colour. However, this map and station signage […]
Official Map: Metropolitana di Napoli, 2012 (1 of 2)
Following on from the last post, here’s a map of Naples’ Metro system. Strangely, there are two completely different maps of the system available on the official MetroNapoli website: probably because different transit agencies control different lines. MetroNapoli runs only Lines 1 and 6 and Naples’ extensive funicular system, which is what is shown on this map. I’ll cover the other map, which does show all services in Naples as a unified map in my […]

Eh, who needs new maps anyway? The photo is from 2010, so I also wonder if a more permanent addition to the map has been made since then. Source: pjsherman/Flickr
