Photo – Bus Maps Can Be So Hard To Read…
Ha! Love the way the cracks under the remnants of the map seem to form their own roads and streets. Great title for this photo, too. Source: JSDesign/Flickr

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – the Los Angeles Metro system has one of the most coherent, unified transit agency corporate identities out there. It’s used intelligently and consistently across the entire system – from maps, station signage and onto their website and collateral. Distinctive without being extrovert, it displays information simply and effectively, and looks good while doing it. Source: tracktwentynine/Flickr

Looks quite lovely in location… although perhaps a little small to be seen from far away. Source: varlamov/Flickr

A marked-up map sitting on my desk of transit projects in Seattle somehow ends up looking uncannily like the New York subway map.
Stickers on the Central Line, London Underground
From the now sadly defunct “Stickers on the Central Line” Tumblr, are these hilarious and superbly executed “prank” stickers found on the London Underground. Matching the original strip map almost exactly, they instead insert something unexpected, pointed, or just plain funny. My favourite? Change at Tottenham Court Road for a submarine to Somalia, complete with a very plausible London Underground submarine icon. More here in this imgur album. Hat tip to Twitter user Ben Darfler.
