A Circular New York City Subway Map To Straighten Things Out

Posted by timothy on from the now-go-help-charlie-get-off-the-mta dept.

Daniel_Stuckey writes "The U.K.'s Max Roberts, a mapmaker and critic, has created a map that sees this problem and then solves it by adopting a similar distortion strategy to the MTA map, but to a far greater degree. The map heads in the direction of a diagram and away from a map representing features. It may be the most lucid reinterpretation of the New York City subway map I've seen yet."

    The subway system's colors weren't designed for Brooklyn. They were designed for Manhattan.
