81 street;

Central Park west-104 street; T. to the (

175 street;

81 street; even though I have never been through that line, I feel between 77 street & 86 street is too long.

well that's enough for NYC. extra ones would be ridiculous.

IRT FTW!!

They dont take as long as BMT/IND lines on the weekends.

Isn't a Tenth Avenue Subway better as an extension too since the is right near Tenth Avenue. Anyway such a subway doesn't have to go all the way up to 207th Street since it would compete with the current Eighth Avenue Line services. It's best to have it terminate at 59th Street-Columbus Circle to better serve the farther regions of the West Side.

hmm you make a point. I'll edit it.

Hmm interesting topic, I wonder which one will I create B)

WHOA! thanks for mines

Hey can I have one that says:

(I) 12 Avenue

(I) Van Wyck Express

(I) Queens Express

(I) Via 34 Street

In a R160 sign please when you can:cool:

It's great. Not laggy after I removed all of those annoying bubbles, but I can't find out how to add/extend the lines. :S

right? I did the same thing, I cant figure out how to do it either.

Good to know, because I wanna do the same too

My Suggestion is to try to extend the & (8) lines to south ferry via the west side line making stops at:

Christopher St

Houston St

spring St

BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College)

Vessey St

WTC

South ferry

If you can or want to..

I find the extension rather pointless, since the doesn't go to Manhattan anyway. If necessary, the and should switch east of Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue.

That's true, plus the is too long to have the extension as a local train.

This is a minor update since the last one (click to enlarge):

 

In the final, the large bullets adjacent to the terminal stations will be replaced with square ones, smaller circular and diamond ones will be placed along the routes, and all stations will be labeled. There are currently no bullets adjacent to part-time terminal stations. See if you can guess the service patterns.

 

I'm still not sure what to do with the Astoria extension. The crosstown line will have a connection to the local tracks while the Broadway line will have a connection to both the local and express tracks. Where the Astoria line branches I'd like the express to serve the longer of two routes (the one not going to the airport), but that would mean I'd have to send 3 different services through the Astoria line. I could always make the airport service a shuttle or make a service have two terminals (like the ).

I think for the Astoria Extension, you should extend 3 lines there, the lines. the LGA extension could be given the , while the get the queens extension. the express & the local.

Oh, I saw 3. I'll do this one then :tup:

 

 

A huge embarrassment overall. I don't even know where this guy came from...

I know, I don't know where he came from too, the first time I saw him was saying random crap to my map, but I didn't listen to him!

Actally Since I decided to do the (X) Sign Well i have to say it came out preety good:[/img]

BTW.. I have this sign as my signature, Also that 59 street stands for 59th street-Columbus circle on 10th avenue. It's named 59 street because it does not stop at Columbus circle. also it's heading downtown via 10th avenue express.

Hey can you make a sign that says:

To Bay Pkwy

Nassau Street Exp

2 avenue Local (Brooklyn) (don't add that)

Via Bway Junction

via Red Hook

Skip-Stop Exp

the type should be R143, if you cant try R160

I f you can, thanks

Thanks so much for the sing, I love it! :tup: ignore the two things above

Lemme see if I get this: 2/3 Ave/Broadway Express, Brighton Local, via 63 Street, to Coney Island?QUOTE]

 

you could if you want

Lemme see if I get this: 2/3 Ave/Broadway Express, Brighton Local, via 63 Street, to Coney Island?

Hey if you can, make me one that says:

Coney Island

3 avenue Exp.(Bx)*

2 avenue Exp.

Bway Exp.

Brighton Lcl.

via 63 st.

So try to make it if you have a chance.

*don't add the Bx.

*For the R160

I know it's too much, but plz try to make it if you can.

not to be rude or anything, when will the map come out?

This one has white dotted lines along the connections I added. I haven't decided on what to do with them yet. It's hard to see if you're not looking for them, but they are:

 

• 34 Street and 5 Avenue connector

• Crosstown line and Astoria line connector

• Astoria line extension to LaGuardia Airport and eastern Queens

• Crosstown line and Central Avenue line connector

• Queens Boulevard line and Rockaway line connector

 

Getting the routes to work out might be a bit difficult since I place emphasis on certain rules when making routes:

 

• Every pair of track in a line gets two routes maximum. A 2 track like can serve 2 routes. A 3 track line can serve routes. A 4 track line can serve 4 routes.

• Routes further from the important destinations usually become express halfway to those destinations and local routes take over where the other routes become express. Track alignments are modified where necessary to enforce this pattern (e.g., from Brighton Beach to Ocean Parkway the storage tracks rise up above the Ocean Parkway station to become a pair of relay tracks).

• Local trains usually stay local for the entire route. The same goes for express trains (e.g., the is the 2 Avenue, Broadway, and Brighton express).

• Routes are created for the most flexibility possible. (e.g., Coney Island has access to 2 Avenue, 6 Avenue, Broadway, and 8 Avenue via the at Brighton Beach).

• Track sharing and/or switching is usually reduced at the cost of routing flexibility when the arrangement appears to be delay-prone.

 

 

I'll provide track diagrams for the new connections and lines soon.

wow you will provide track maps for specific areas on the map?

Draft 3 has arrived. There is still no Staten Island service but each and every station has finally been labelled.

 

 

Despite the painstaking work of bringing the map to near completion, the software used to create the map began to fail under the massive size of the map. With thousands of little objects scattered throughout the map, none of the programs in the Microsoft Office suite could properly export the drawing to an image with readable text. PowerPoint did let me export, but only a piece at a time and I stitched the pieces together afterwards. I thought OpenOffice.org would be a sufficient replacement, but its export capabilities also failed me.

I love this map & I love that you made the (7)/<7>, , , & so close to Nassau county. but I think the is too long, if you noticed, the is one of the lines that go to all 4 boroughs, the same as the (X) line, but overall cool map!
