Submitted by Pasha Omelekhin, who has had maps featured on the blog previously. Transit Maps says: Somewhat blurring the line between illustration and map, this diagram — created to provide visitors to the city with an overview of transit in the city and how it relates to points of interest — presents the trolleybus lines and the city as an oblique “birds-eye” view from the sea with the mountains rising behind. Printed versions of the […]

Submitted by Kristofer, who says: This is the new official map for the Östgötatrafiken network in Norrköping. Line 2 and 3 is tram, the rest is bus. I like the overall design of the map, but think it is very hard to read the stop names, because of the very thin font on dark background. Also it is a little strange to denote the lines as unidirectional in the legend (e.g., Line 2 From: Fridvalla […]

Submitted by my dad (and you wonder where I get my love of maps from?), who says: You may be interested in the new Paris bus map, showing major changes to be implemented in April. Transit Maps says: Thanks, dad! This is certainly an interesting map, as it uses a lot of familiar elements from the Paris Metro map — the Parisine font family, the slightly muted/pastel colour palette and even the general stylised layout […]

Submitted by Henrique, who says: Hello! Rio de Janeiro has, now and finally, a new official map of all the metropolitan transport system. Here, we have BRT corridors, tramways, metro lines and a suburban rail, but each system used to have your own map in the stations. What you think about the design of it? Transit Maps says: The text on the government web page promoting this map roughly translates to: “This tool… aims to […]

Submitted by Kostya, who says: I’d be happy if you reviewed my new piece, unofficial transit map of Ukrainian city of Sumy featuring: trolleybuses in the foreground and buses in the background, close to real topology, landmarks, city center map and other smaller features. I’m sorry about Cyrillics but I feel like it shouldn’t matter much. Looking forward to what you think and thank you! Transit Maps says: Hey everyone, it’s the first published submission […]

Sent my way by Marcin Wichary on Twitter is this rather adorable little illustrated map. It’s from the front page of a leaflet issued to introduce new – and quite substantial – changes to routes in San Francisco, moving from a radial pattern that centred on downtown to more of a gridlike pattern covering the whole city. The changes also introduced the concept of timed transfers at some stations to eliminate long waits for transfers. The illustration […]

Submitted by Felix, who says: Transport for NSW released a new bus route map for the Eastern Suburbs, which I noticed a hard copy of and they provided a PDF upon request. There are many bus routes in the area and, because of the hilly terrain, many have quirks in their routes. I’ve spoken to many a tourist or visitor at Bondi Junction interchange, or one of the beaches, confused about which bus to take. […]

Submitted by Jessie Archer (who I note has an “appalcart.com” email address, so possibly had something to do with the creation of this map). Transit Maps says: First off, can we just note how awesome “AppalCART” is as a transit system name for a city in this part of North Carolina? Possibly one of my favourites ever. At first look, this is a reasonably attractive bus system map, especially for a smaller transit agency but it does […]

Submitted by Hugo Simonsson, who says: The map of the Gothenburg tram (and ferry) network. I think it’s quite nice, but there’s some flaws with the huge bit of space in the top left and the complicated ferry network in the bottom left without clear routes. The choice of colours is nice and mostly clear. Transit Maps says: There’s actually is a reason for the odd combination of wasted space and cramped parts in this […]
