It looks like a step backwards, they took out the shadows by the lines that made em look thicker and pop out at you, and changed the colors so it looks a lot like the old map before 2010.

TwoTimer Posted October 12, 2011 Share #7 Posted October 12, 2011 Well they kept Manhattan the same size. Whether the shadow was there or not didn't matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTrainExp Posted October 12, 2011 Share #9 Posted October 12, 2011 i liked the shadow, it made the lines thicker Agreed. I liked the greenish color and the shadow of the lines on the June map. It really made it look more visually appealing and looked a lot more artistic and better than the old dull pre-2010 map. Shame to see the design go so fast... By the way, why is the changing the map again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted October 12, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 12, 2011 Honestly the shadow made the subway lines stand out better. Oh well... Just my honest opinion but I would like the subway service guide back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted October 12, 2011 Share #13 Posted October 12, 2011 I didn't like the shadow, because it made it look like there was almost another line running with the others. they probably did it to make the yellow Bway line stand out more, then figured by not use it on all the lines. Now, they yellow lines have the thinner outline on both sides (like the SAS and 2004 Manhattan Bridge changes maps did). As I always say, I think they should instead just use a deeper gold. What I really wish they would do now, since they're also using the new Vignelli map, is to reconfigure the Vignelli lines onto the current map background.

R68 Subway Car Posted October 12, 2011 Share #15 Posted October 12, 2011 I prefer bus and street maps over subway maps for finding streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
