Submitted by Sergio, who says: Hi Cameron! Some months ago I designed a map of my city Bogotá where it shows all of the services in the system in the shape of the map we know. As you know, there are a ton of services in Transmilenio, so a standard map wouldn’t work – thus each station having strip maps of the lines. However, I wanted to see how a full map would look. Of […]
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 David Osorio, who says: It shows Metro lines, BRT lines, Tramway and Aerial Cable Car lines. Transit Maps says: I last reviewed Medellin’s transit map back in 2014 (1.5 stars), but this new version is sufficiently different for me to re-evaluate it. The first things I notice are the route lines are much thicker and the labels are much bigger, changes which improve the map tremendously over the spindly previous version. However, some […]
Submitted by okamijishi, who says: This is the official network map of Bogota’s Transmilenio, I wanted to know what do you think about it. I think this one is useless, we don’t use it a lot because it doesn’t show the routes. Transit Maps says: This is an interesting one. While the map is executed quite nicely with bold lines and clear labels, it is – as okamijishi says – almost entirely useless for actually navigating […]
Submitted by tiburonvolador, who says: An imaginary interpretation of of what a fully fledged underground rapid transit system and rail map would look like in Bogotá, Colombia. I designed the map with heavy influence from the London Underground. The system has 9 lines named after events, places and famous people. I designed it as an experiment in art in design for a city that needed a cathartic respite from a daily life of stress and […]
Submitted by Daniel Echeverri, who says: Medellin (Colombia) transit map. Downloaded from the official website of Metro de Medellin. It shows Metro Lines, Articulated Buses lines (Metroplus) and Aerial Tram lines (Metro Cable) Transit Maps says: Medellin’s transit system is fascinating because it’s one of the first places in the world to implement aerial gondolas as part of a mass transit system. Other cities may have gondolas and aerial trams, but they’re almost always deployed […]
