Submitted by Noah, who says: I would appreciate a review of the updated system map for Transperth. Transit Maps says: This dates from October 2025, when the Armadale line was extended one station to Byford. Again, this is one of those diagrams that gets the job done, but absolutely lacks any finesse and craft. There’s a whole litany of problems here — angled labels when there’s plenty of room for them to be horizontal, inconsistent […]

Submitted by Scott (among others), who says: CTA updated their iconic ‘L’ diagram earlier this year, and now that the temporary station outages for the Red-Purple Modernization project have been completed, figured this would be a great time to get your thoughts since the new version is a pretty dramatic departure from the previous iterations. Transit Maps says: Well, this one has sat in my queue for way too long – sorry for the delay […]

Submitted by Jon in KC, who says: This is the new KC Streetcar pylon map, updated to reflect the Main Street Extension that opens this Friday, October 24th. It also shows the Riverfront Extension, which will open sometime early next year. I’m curious to get your thoughts. I have some concerns about the limited amount of contrast between the dark blue station lettering getting lost on the darker backgrounds, Art Museums and UMKC in particular, […]

DART’s long-awaited Silver Line is opening at the end of October, and the agency already has a map out well in advance, so let’s take a look, shall we? Look, this diagram is perfectly functional and does its job, but there are some absolutely baffling design decisions that have been made. First and foremost is the decision to put a big “Effective September 15, 2025” label on the diagram, and then hiding the fact that […]

Submitted by Emerson, who says: This is Kaohsiung MRT’s new system map, following the Red Line extension to Gangshan and the completion of the LRT loop. So far, Kaohsiung has not been featured on this site, so I would love to see your opinions on their map! Transit Maps says: I have to say that I’m not totally in love with this diagram: it just seems quite generic and bland, unfortunately. Even the nice touch […]

Submitted by Nicolas, who says: I live in Brittany, France, mostly on the western side of the region, so I am submitting its network map, containing coach, boat, and plane (yes, plane) routes in this great region. Since merging the transport networks a few years ago, the region has decided to re-number the lines of coaches (to be fair, needed, there existed 4 line 1), where the last 2 digits will carry over with a […]

Submitted by Nicholas, who says: Northern Rail’s new map is well worth a look – I find it exemplary for making such a previously nebulous network entirely understandable. Graphics pretty well impeccable. I understand this network may not survive the transition to Great British Railways, but it would be great if GBR could commission a nationwide suite of such maps for all the regional networks by the same author. Transit Maps says: I agree with […]

Submitted by a few people—sorry for the delay in getting to this!—including Shameek, who says: Phoenix is opening the new southern light rail extension and splitting the system into two separate lines, so naturally they released a new map! I like some of the ideas in here, especially the downtown inset and treating the streetcar equally, but I wanted to hear your take. Transit Maps says: It’s always nice when transit systems expand past their […]

Submitted by Bushland Maps, who says: I have noticed that no one has submitted the Queensland Rail network map, so here it is! Sort of… I have attached the link to the web page rather than the image because the legend isn’t on the map, its actually below it on the webpage… That will be fun to format! I find this map peculiar for a few reasons, namely the fact that corners, station dot locations, […]

Submitted by Nick, who says: Hi Cameron. I live in Chicago and our commuter rail Metra is considering rebranding its lines and recently released two proposals. I thought you and your readers might enjoy reviewing them. The announcement, proposed designs, and link to a survey are here. The proposed designs are available in a PDF here [I’ve also reproduced these below – Cam]. I’ve been riding Metra for more than 20 years and I’ll be […]
