Submission – Unofficial Map: Subway NY/NJ by Stewart Mader

Unofficial Maps


A compelling proposal to enhance the representation of “New York’s second subway” – the PATH to New Jersey – on the official MTA subway map. PATH carries over 70 million passengers each year, runs 24 hours a day and even accepts pay-per-ride MTA MetroCards as fare payment, but is relegated to the official map’s subsidiary “commuter/passenger rail track” graphical style, while the New Jersey shoreline itself is completely absent (the Hudson River instead looks particularly wide at that point).

I personally think that this is a simple but incredibly awesome amendment to the New York subway map that provides useful information to the end user – which is what a transit map should be about, right?
