Ever since I first designed it way back in 2012, I’ve tried to keep my popular alternative Boston MBTA rapid transit map updated as new stations opened and other changes to the network happened. However, with the opening of the Silver Line route to Chelsea (SL3) earlier this year, certain parts of my design just weren’t going to cut it anymore. Looking at the old version, it was also painfully obvious to me that I […]
Submitted by Kirill, who says: A few months ago I made a trolleybus routes map for my hometown Kemerovo. Map is considered to become an official map of Kemerovo trolleybus system soon. Full project on Behance: Transit Maps says: This is a very competent map that Kirill has designed, although I do feel that I’ve seen some of the elements used to create it before in this 2015 map of the tram network of Chelyabinsk […]
Submitted by Philip, who says: I put together a map showing a redesign of Melbourne’s rail network with the newly-announced Suburban Rail Loop (SRL). Given that this is the first radial railway proposed for Melbourne for many decades, I have built the rest of the map around a central straight line of the new Loop. More explanation and links to the map on Philip’s website. Transit Maps says: The recent announcement of this new underground railway […]
Submitted by Simon, who says: My name is Simon and for a long time I have been a fan of your blog. I already sent you a couple of maps via this form, although I am not sure whether you received them. Recently, I have completed a simple map that I am quite proud of – it’s a map of the rail services of Luxembourg. Notwithstanding Jug Cerović’s fabulous Luxembourg bus map, the official map […]
While preparing today’s post about the current Medellin Metro map (2 stars), I kept looking at the map and asking myself if there were ways that I could improve upon it. Eventually, I had enough ideas to make a reworking worthwhile and set about the task. I’ve chosen to show a “near-future” version of the system, with the “M” and “P” MetroCable lines completed, but without the Line 3 BRT, as I can’t find enough information on the […]
Submitted by Rahul, who says: Hey! Wanted your comment on my redesign of the Metra map. Been a fan of the blog for a while, and I started making maps a few months ago. I would appreciate any feedback and comments. Transit Maps says: I like this a lot, Rahul! Very clean, slick and easy to follow. Pleasingly, the fare zones are clean and subtle – I note with some dismay that the Chicago RTA’s “Train […]
Submitted by Kevin, who says: A few months ago, the Government of Ireland announced Project Ireland 2040, a scheme covering many aspects of infrastructure and development for Ireland. One announcement was Metrolink. Metrolink is the previously planned Metro North from Dublin City Centre to the Airport plus a connection with the existing Luas Green line and its upgrade to Metro standard giving Dublin a continuous metro line from the Northern suburbs, through the city centre […]
Submitted by zjfishy, who says: After my frustration with the new Metro and AMT maps for Montreal, I decided to make my own including both. I took some of the key features from the Metro map (like the dark background and chunky lines), but put a more modern and cleaner twist on it. Room for edits once the REM and Blue line extension open, as well as the possible Magenta line, were considered and made for […]
Submitted by Eduardo, who says: This is my redesign of the Porto map for my University course. Your review of the real one helped me! Transit Maps says: This is a nice reworking of the official map, Eduardo – converting it from a stylised geographical map into a proper schematic diagram (the official map hasn’t changed too much since I reviewed it way back in 2012). I will quietly note that you’ve lifted the typography, […]
Submitted by Laura, who says: I have a love-hate relationship with Santiago’s Metro map. The current one excludes very useful information (particularly important for migrants and tourists) such as the existence of private buses to the Airport, or the commuter rail service to Nos (run by another company) that’s been working for more than a year now. It works just as well as the Metro using the same card and price, but for some reason […]
