My Subway Map - Includes the yellow (D) and the (P)(T)(Y)

[Luis1985]

Cool maps, Luis!

 

lol thank you.

[Guest lance25]

After looking at your maps, let me first say wow, that is one large subway system you've got here. I seriously doubt people would be clamoring for more service with the sheer amount of lines serving each of the five boroughs. Unfortunately I see some problems with some of the lines...

- Line Length

The , , , (P), , and (Y) lines are way too long

- The Whitehall Terminal

While it might look like all the lower Manhattan stations are very close on the map, Broad St, Whitehall St and Bowling Green are several blocks apart from each other. I would leave Fulton St as the transfer point since those stations are closer.

- The Staten Is. Lines

Personally, I think that there are too many lines going into S.I. The island goes from having little mass transit to being over-saturated with it. Also, I wouldn't send any lines that go through Manhattan to S.I. as that makes the lines incredibly long. Instead, I'd suggest a separate line that connects with 4th Ave in Brooklyn and/or one or more of the lower Manhattan lines.

- Route Redundancies

- Bedford Ave doesn't need a subway line. Nostrand and Brighton are good enough for that area. Instead, I'd move the (O) to Utica Ave.

- Also, Amsterdam Ave doesn't need a line either with B'way-7 Ave and 8 Ave literally a block away in most cases.

Besides that, I don't really see any other glaring problems with this map. I have to admit I like the fact that you added the Myrtle Av line and a far Westside line to this map

If you are going to have an underwater tunnel under the New York Harbour to SI from Manhattan, trips are going to be rather long.

About Staten Island, the only really unnecessary line looks like the ( and maybe the since there isn't really much at the Teleport nowadays (by the way, check the stops on that line with the Staten Island Bus Map bacause they seem kind of out of order).

Other than that, it makes sense. There can be a train that can run in the median of the Staten Island Expressway, and some lines on the North Shore Line and Main Line. There needs to be some express service on some of these lines, though.

Also, I wouldn't recommend extending all of those lines there, since Staten Island is further than it looks on the map. If I were making this map, I would bring back the 5th Avenue Elevated and run all of the services on that line. I would have it use the tracks through the Army Terminal and then go to 39th Street and go to the elevated, then go over the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall.

 

I agree with lance25 about the Whitehall Street-South Ferry-Broad Street-Bowling Green station. While it seems like a great idea to connect everything near the Staten Island Ferry (which would probably be closed, since there are so many connections to SI ((Y)), the Bowling Green station is 2 or 3 blocks from South Ferry, and the Broad Street station is up by Wall Street.

the staten island stops were checked by the SI Bus map, however, some of the streets close off, thats y i had to put them in that kind of order.

Broad Street is indirectly connected to Wall Street through the Equitable Building. There is a T shaped corridor at the lower level and it leads to the fare controls of the two different stations. There are no plans to build a transfer passageway between the two because that is rather redundant considering how there is Brooklyn Bridge (2 stops up) and Fulton Street (which is currently being made simpler by the means of the FSTC project)

so, when are you gonna post the schedules & the based map? not rushing, I just wanna take a look at it.

[E Local]

Also, I might or will sound stupid when I say that I just found out that you have 36 lines running throughout the city.

[Luis1985]

I like how you switched the to go to the Bronx and the to go to Queens. That arrangement would be helpful for the tourists.

[MTR Admiralty]

Wow Luis, how long did it take you?

[E Local]

Hey not to be rude, did you start the based map??

[Luis1985]

Wow Luis, how long did it take you?

 

for the regular map:

3 years

 

for the weekend map:

2 weeks

 

for the late night map:

2 days.

[Luis1985]

Hey not to be rude, did you start the based map??

[Luis1985]

Looks like he based it off the nycsubway.org map.

[MTR Admiralty]

Holy Christ, man. THAT is effort.

[E Local]

[aahd]

How did you make the map?from what pogram?

[IRT Bronx Express]

How did you make the map?from what pogram?

Possibly Paint. He took an existing map from NYCSubway.org and added in new routes that way.

[E Local]

hey not to rush or be rude.. when are the new "subway schedules" coming for all the lines??

[Sterlin91]

This would be my fantasy map

 

( 168 St-Washington Heights- Coney Island, Brooklyn

using the West End Line, 4 Av Express, 6 Av Express and CPW Local.

Latenights it runs as a shuttle between 36st and Coney Island

It would be the same except in Brooklyn it would run via Brighton Local

(Q6Av) To Forest Hills- Brighton Beach via Brighton Express, 6Av Express, 53st

and Queens Blvd Local (weekdays)

Will run via Culver Express, Coney Island Trains run express and Kings Highway Trains run local everything else the same (weekdays)

 

To Norwood 205 St, Bronx- Euclid Avenue(Daytime) other times use ( to replace it

 

Via Broadway Express all times using the Manhattan Bridge except latenights and weekends

Latenights to 57 Street-7 Avenue

 

The return of the (1)/(9) skip stop

 

everything else I will leave it the way it is
