Submitted by Maximiliano, who says: It’s been a few years since the last time you checked out what was happening in Santiago de Chile [I last reviewed the official map in 2017 – Cam]. Well, times haven’t been too kind to us down here, but I don’t want to go into details about our current and future “troubles”. They’re too complicated, so anyways… We have a new map for the Metro de Santiago network. And […]
Submitted by Jaime, who says: I would like to share with you the new Metrovalencia’s network map, whose design has been updated with the opening of the new Line 10 this year. The main reason why the transit operator decided to redesign it from scratch instead of just adding the new line layout is because they wanted to start avoiding using diagonal-axis labels on it, as they think horizontal labels are more accessible for people […]
Submitted by Jan, who says: Hi Cameron, thanks for the amazing work you do on this site! I just noticed that one of the maps that I see the most often in real life has not been featured here (as far as I can tell): the regional train network map of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s northernmost state. It can be found here [PDF link]. Looking at it after perusing your site for a while, it is easy […]
Submitted by James, who says: Hello there! The last time you reviewed a map of mine was in 2015 [See review here – Cam]. Since then I’ve moved houses, had several new jobs, and been through a pandemic. I’ve recently been reworking a map of the Welsh rail network, based on a 2:1 triangular grid, using Affinity Designer which has continued to improve. You will see there are some clear design factors in the diagram. […]
Submitted by Fern, who says: Frustrated with illegible service patterns and a pretty ugly system map (viewable here – Cam), I made my own line map for the Caltrain regional railway along the SF Peninsula. Curious what you think! Transit Maps says: This is a great example of how a transit diagram doesn’t need to be flashy or over designed to be successful – just clear and easy to understand. Similar in execution to Japanese […]
Submitted by Douglas, who says: I’m sure you would find it interesting, as you have attempted to do the inverse of what Sean is doing. Transit Maps says: This map is indeed the exact inverse of my project from 2019 to show the New York Subway in the style of the London Underground diagram, and arguably more successful as it actually works as intended (mine looks great, but is ultimately flawed as it cannot show […]
Submitted by Jasper, who says: This is a map I designed of the The New York City Elevated System, a proposed automated-rapid-transit system for the five boroughs, to be owned and operated by the City of New York. The 88-mile, 72 station network would run above the city’s major streets and freeways, connecting with 26 subway routes, LIRR and Metro-North commuter railroads, PATH train, a revised LaGuardia AirTrain, and over 120 city buses. The system […]
Submitted by Tubal, who says: I would want to share with you the railway diagram I made of the Asturias Principality (Spain), in case you are interested in comment it in your blog. The main advantage of this diagram is that I take into account the whole Principality, not just its central commuter area, as all the other maps of Asturias do. In addition, I have included the new station names that Renfe is trying […]
Submitted by Orange, who says: I’ve been browsing the maps you have about my city, Madrid, and I noticed the map you have for the Renfe Cercanías network, the commuter rail in Madrid, is not up-to-date. The changes aren’t huge, but the network does operate under substantially different patterns. I would really appreciate it if you took some time to check out the most modern version of the diagram. Transit Maps says: It has been […]
Submitted by Lucien, who says: Beside being inspired by the various radial metro maps featured here over the years, the idea of doing a radial map for Taipei’s metro systems came from the then under construction Circular Line and the city’s overall geography. The Taiwanese capital is situated in a basin with rivers flowing in from the surrounding mountains, so it is conceivable to represent the area in a radial manner, even though the city […]
