Submitted by Raül, who says: Hello, this is my third transit map that I create, but the first one that’s not a fantasy one (previously I did a Tallinn Metro Map and a Tram network for my town), so it’s a redesign of Metro Bilbao and suburban network. I would like to know your feedback about it, and I would also like you to publish it because I don’t think there are many circular maps […]
Submitted by puerto-nic0, who says: The proposal for a Light Rail system for Cork City, Ireland. The proposal is from People Before Profit, Ireland’s socialist party. Light rail has long been promised for the city, but recent government initiatives have made it a more likely possibility. It connects in the north to Cork’s suburban rail system, the regional (underdeveloped) heavy rail system, which connects to other parts of the country (as well as to Northern Ireland). […]
A pair of wonderful diagrammatic pocket maps showing the F-Zug or “Long-Distance Train” intercity services (in blue) and the Trans-Europe Express (TEE) services (in red) of West Germany in the summer of 1969. The first diagram shows southbound routes, while the second shows northbound. Each diagram also serves as a schedule, with arrival and departure times denoted clearly along each route line. A few non-standard angles don’t detract from the excellent draftsmanship on display here: […]
There’s a child-like quality to this clearly hand-drawn and lettered map (see the crude trees in the parks), but it kind of makes me love it more.
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 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 […]
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 […]
A map of Vienna’s city rail network in 1933, showing the extensive tram (Strassenbahn) network and the Wiener Stadtbahn, which now forms part of both the U- and S-Bahn networks. Interestingly, the stations of the Stadtbahn are only denoted by two-letter abbreviations on the map, which have to be cross referenced with a legend at the top right. This is also probably one of the earliest attempts at indicating fare zones I’ve seen on a […]
Submitted by Simon H., who says: I stumbled upon this “gem” and I thought it should be brought to your attention, as this is probably one of the more atrocious specimens of the genre. Keep up the good work! Transit Maps says: Oh dear.
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 […]
