R1Toasty Posted December 4, 2007 Share #4 Posted December 4, 2007 The idea is modern, but I'm not liking how it's done very much... it seems too different, especially in the Rockaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted December 4, 2007 Share #5 Posted December 4, 2007 I like it, but it doesn't look very geographically accurate (relatively) and uses mroe straight lines...I don't know. I don't think it should be official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

error46146 Posted December 4, 2007 Share #7 Posted December 4, 2007 it looks kinda strange. it would be weird to see a new design in the subway map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted December 4, 2007 Share #8 Posted December 4, 2007 it looks kinda strange. it would be weird to see a new design in the subway map. It looks cool, but I would stick to the current original subway map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracknut Posted December 5, 2007 Share #9 Posted December 5, 2007 I like it, but it doesn't look very geographically accurate (relatively) and uses mroe straight lines...I don't know. I don't think it should be official. I agree but then again the subway maps weren't made to look geographically correct anyway. But the straight lines do it for me too. I don't like it.

superdotny Posted December 5, 2007 Share #10 Posted December 5, 2007 I like the current design. The new idea looks like we are going back to straight lines before the 80s. However, it is very colorful. The portrayal of the lines are not that distinct, and some lines have really exaggerated lines, like the L and A/C.

PATCOman Posted December 5, 2007 Share #11 Posted December 5, 2007 I actually like it because: 1. It tells you the stops with the free crossovers 2. each subway line has its own line so that way tourists would call the subway line by letter or number instead of color.

Cyberider Posted December 5, 2007 Share #12 Posted December 5, 2007 I recently got a book entitled "Transit Maps of the World" and it appears that "stylizing" transit maps is a big deal almost everywhere. I prefer the more geographically correct ones myself but it's possible the stylized ones might be easier for some to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberider Posted December 5, 2007 Share #14 Posted December 5, 2007 I heard about that book And I was planning on getting it. If you would like you can write a review about it in our reviews forum and let us know about it. I'll try to do that in the near future. It's a nice "coffee table" book with a selection of transit maps over the years for a number of cities. Very enjoyable to look at but not for any actual travel.
