A nicely stylised and illustrated BART map/infographic illustrating the absolutely insane prices of rental properties in the Bay Area. This much. For one bedroom. Ow. Source: RadPad Blog – link no longer active
Front cover for a 1977 map of BART and connecting bus services with some great late-1970s typography: tightly spaced Helvetica, yum! That BART icon is also pretty amazing and is just asking to be digitally recreated.

Transit Maps says: This […]
