lilbluefoxie Posted February 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2011 Since I did one for the commuter rail, I figured ill do an updated subway map. It is based off the 1994 map with some extra features I added in, such as the emphasis on weekend service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted February 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2011 This is awesome. I've always loved this style over the ones that came after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan Posted February 27, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 27, 2011 Although, looking it over closely this time: I see your point about the semi-transparent bullets and lines being part-time, but they might be just a bit hard to see being that light, especially orange and yellow... maybe darken them a little so they're easier to see but not so much that you can't tell the difference between a full time line and part time. Still a beautiful map. And nitpicking a bit here -- Main St Flushing is underground. You missed a tunnel segment there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted February 27, 2011 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2011 Whoa!! Great :tup::tup: map! That must have took forever to make! I especially love the Akzidenz-grotesk font! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T to Dyre Avenue Posted February 27, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 27, 2011 Looks great. From the Aksidenz font (which I think the MTA should re-adopt for its station signs and maps) to the portal symbols showing you where the trains come above ground to the parenthesis and brackets denoting part-time and terminal stops, it's a very nice job.

Baseball02 Posted February 27, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 27, 2011 Excellent Map :tup: But I found that the Tunnel Segment symbols on the (N)/(Q) near Queensboro Plaza and on the near 45 Rd are facing the wrong way. You're also missing a Tunnel Segment symbol near Main Street on the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rell Posted February 27, 2011 Share #9 Posted February 27, 2011 amazing map. Only thing I noticed off was Hunts Point Av shouldn't have an "x" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCTNostalgia Posted February 27, 2011 Share #10 Posted February 27, 2011 It's breath taking! The only thing I dislike is the faded part time routes. I have to strain my eyes to see the ( etc... (It seriously hurts my eyes) Other than that, it's good. (****) Stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted February 27, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 27, 2011 I agree, great map, but I think using the dashed lines to indicate part time service would be better than the semi-transparent colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted February 28, 2011 Share #13 Posted February 28, 2011 -Norton gives me a "bad site" warning when I open the image. -SIR is way off scale, I think you should leave it out considering there is not much more than a map. -Missing Wilson St open air platform - Botanical Garden is in tunnel -As above, Main St is not in tunnel, Astoria/LIC portals wrong way The faded part time routes aren't that bad.

Baseball02 Posted March 7, 2011 Share #18 Posted March 7, 2011 I think Part-Time trains should use dotted lines instead of semi-transparent ones. It's so hard to see the (! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
