The Subway map is big news. It gives Jug Cerovic’s Inat version a real run for its money which is high praise indeed. I’d also say it’s marginally more accessible than Inat and a lot more than Vignelli, but Inat successfully integrated the Manhattan street grid and New Jersey and Long Island rail as well.
Great new NYC map. The Vignelli version was imo almost impossible to use because of the complexity of giving each service its own colour, and this one makes the obvious improvement of using the same colour for different services using the same lines.
I love the MTA map for many reasons, the least of which right now is “long term elevator outage” something that Transport for London Transport workers could start with.
