My issue with the Vignelli NYC map is that the choice to have a different coloured line for every single service variation makes it spectacularly over-complicated, and very difficult to trace a route. In one of Maxwell Robert’s map books, he created a variation on the Vignelli map to make all the services using the same route through Manhattan the same colour, using the ones used on the current geographical map, and it instantly made it far more usable.
