Photo: Toyoko Line Strip Map, Shibuya Station, Tokyo
Lovely clarity with this strip map for the Toyoko Line in Japan (the name is a portmanteau of Tokyo and Yokohama, the two cities that the line runs between). There are four route lines, each clearly showing which stations the different service types stop at. From top to bottom, these are Local, Express, Commuter Express and Limited Express. Interchanges with other lines – regardless of operating company – are also shown, and it’s bilingual as […]
Photo – Official Map: Atlanta Streetcar In-car Strip Map
Here’s a photo from long-time correspondent Matt’ Johnson of the in-car strip map for the just-opened-yesterday Atlanta Streetcar. I sort of get a Transport for London/Tube Map vibe from it, and that’s a good thing in my eyes. Simple, clean, bold, easy to read, and it doesn’t try to over-complicate or “dress up” what is a very simple loop system. It’s not completely perfect: all the station names are left-aligned and aligned to the left […]

Photo: Budapest Metro Line 4 Strip Map
At Moricz Zsigmond korter station. One of my favourite on-platform strip maps. There’s no ambiguity at all about which stations you can reach from each side of the platform, and the current station is clearly highlighted. Lovely work. Source: Romeodesign/Flickr
Official Map: METRO Light Rail/BRT Network, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota
Submitted by Ethan Osten, who says: These have started appearing on METRO trains in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I’d love to hear your opinion of them. Previously, the only maps which appeared in stations/trains were the strip maps (March 2014, 3.5 stars) you reviewed earlier this year. Transit Maps says: Unfortunately, this map seems like a bit of a backwards step from those previously featured strip maps, which were quite excellent. While I appreciate that the map […]
Metro Seat Pattern in Stockholm
The pattern on Metro seats in Stockholm is based on the network map. Neat! Source: Arenamontanus/Flickr
Historical Map: Old Paris Metro Map at Marcadet Poissonniers Station (pre-1967?)
Great photo of the remnants of an old Metro map. The original poster of this photo on Flickr notes that it’s normally hidden behind advertisements these days. The best I can do with dating is pre-1967, as Line 7 has yet to be split into 7 and 7bis north of Louis Blanc station, instead being branches of the same line. Source: andrew gallix/Flickr
Photo: Chicago “L” Wall Installation in Motorola Offices
So how much do you think this little number set Motorola back? Because I wouldn’t mind this on my wall one little bit. Interior Design by Gensler, photo by Eric Laignel. Source: Interior Design Magazine, May 2014
Photo: Any Map Will Do
A giant wall map of bus routes from the Kempegowda bus station in Bangalore, India. The map may wish you a “happy and comfortable journey”, but it’s not doing you too many favours in helping you plot your route. A spider’s web of lines and hundreds of names cover the wall from floor to ceiling, all in blue and red on a yellow background. Some of the people in this photo seem to have been […]
