Submitted by Frederico, who says: Here’s the new diagram for Transtejo, the company that manages Lisbon’s main waterways lines. It is part of Transportes de Lisboa, the main company, along with Metro and Carris, the one that provides buses and trams. I can’t decide if I like it or not… It definitely inherited the simplism and amazing typeface from Lisbon’s Metro map, which I approve, but I feel like it could be better executed. There’s […]

Submitted by Simon, who says: I recently found this horrible official map of the regional buses in the North-German town of Wismar. I already planned to make them a proper map until I found out that this bus company doesn’t operate anymore since the end of 2015, so it probably doesn’t matter. Transit Maps says: Not operating anymore, huh? I wonder if having a map that made it virtually impossible to work out where any […]

Submitted by peopleneedaplacetogo, who says: The Wikipedia article for “Baghdad Metro” includes this unsourced image of a proposed network map. The way the colours are used in different directions is quite unusual but I guess makes sense if each colour corresponds to a destination (e.g. if destination signs on the front of trains are coloured). Transit Maps says: Hooray for reverse image search, which eventually revealed that this absolutely beautiful diagram was drawn by Richard […]

Submitted by the map’s creator, who says: After having tried for a long time to find a schematic route map for Sydney’s historical tram network without any success, I decided that the only option was to make one myself. This was a particularly tricky task as all of the maps I could find online showed only the tram tracks, but not how the routes functioned. After many hours going through many different websites, trying to […]

Via: alexjago51: Here’s another unofficial public transport map I’ve just finished. This one is a bit more forward looking. The year is traditional, being from a previous State Government’s glossy-brochure plan – in which everything on this map would be built by 2031. On the map is everything I could feasibly fit (rail, busway), plus a couple of things I probably shouldn’t have (ferries and every single light rail stop). Rail and busway are a […]

Submitted by Bruno Heemskerk, who says: Flixbus is quite a new company with bus services between several European countries. Transit Maps says: This is another good example of what I call a “boast map”, in that it shows the impressive extent of the network, but reveals very little about actual routing (that’s for the website to tell you). For example, a little poking around on that website tells me that you can only directly reach other destinations […]

Submitted by Arnt Gulbrandsen, who says: The map and lines have been rearranged because of a new station (Løren). This is the new official map. Look closely at line 5. Transit Maps says: Now that is unusual. While I’ve seen some lines double up on a couple of stations before (London’s Circle line calls twice at Paddington and Edgware Road, for example), I really can’t think of another example where a line makes a complete […]

Submitted by Edward Russell, who says: DC Streetcar has published a simple, straightforward strip map in the streetcars that began running a week ago in DC. Hopefully this is the beginning of a far larger streetcar renaissance in DC! Transit Maps says: I’m going to resist the temptation to comment on the protracted process that’s led to the delayed opening of this streetcar line. Nor am I going to enter into the whole streetcars in […]

Submitted by Jim, who says: I came across this horrendous mess of lines and angles. Its the Weekday Service map for Belgian Rail – the national rail company for Belgium. Sorry its only in French/Dutch, but I think the drawing speaks for itself. I know making a map for a whole country is no easy feat but I feel like there must be some improvements to be made, especially around Brussels. Transit Maps says: Yep, that’s […]
