Well, that's a new change to my Amtrak as Subway Map that I didn't have on my bingo card...

Leaving aside whether or not you actually need to show branches/alternate termini like this (I would say you don't), this is a pretty ugly way to apply hatching to the Silver Line. The DC Metro map has done this much better before.

This superb isochrone of travel time by rail in 1882 France has always been one of the most popular prints on the site – and with good reason! transitmap.net/store/produc...

I'm printing up some maps tonight – add yours to my queue by placing an order now! I'll get out in the mail tomorrow. transitmap.net/store/prints...

Hey everyone! Time for a print giveaway – this awesome 1912 map of San Francisco was printed right at the end of a roll, and got skewed so the print isn't square on the sheet; otherwise it's perfect. You just pay shipping costs via PayPal or Venmo. First to DM me gets it! (US residents only, please)

@trimet.org is on to a winner with this scarf that has all their old sector icons on it. trimetgear.myshopify.com/products/tri...

🗺️ This circa 1925 #NYTMCollection map was the first to show #NYC's full rapid transit network after the system’s expansion in the 1920s.

New on the blog! A really nice unofficial diagram of the tram network of The Hague, The Netherlands.

The KC Streetcar's Main Street extension opens today, and there's a new map for the occasion – is it up to the task?

When showing that Port Jervis sits on the the NY/PA border messes with your aesthetics...

Okay, the giant red "Go THIS way to get to the Cubs game, you dummy!" arrows are sending me.

New on the blog! A new future-proofed unofficial diagram of integrated transit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that just really, really good.

#SundayPixRailway Completely useless London Underground map. Especially useless because it is on the riverbus pier and nowhere near an underground station. I love it

I'm trying to get back to writing on the blog on a more regular basis. Here's a reminder that you can submit maps – your own creations, or official maps that you'd like me to review – using this form on the website: transitmap.net/submit/ Remember to celebrate excellence and cool stuff!

Just using LA Metro's latest extension (opening today) as an excuse to repost this old map of mine, now updated calurbanist.com/los-angeles-...

Most of the maps on the blog "do the job." Most people can use them to get from Point A to Point B. But that's missing the point of the blog – I'm looking for the CRAFT behind the map. Is it technically excellent? Is it beautiful? Can it become an iconic symbol of the city or region it represents?

The longest light rail line in the world gets even longer!

New on the blog: an official diagram for DART and its new Silver Line that looks like the designers just eyeballed everything and called it good:

A delightful repurposing of the 1970s Inter-City diagram!

Cute new “Next Station” displays on the MAX here in Portland. #transitmaps

New on the blog! A new official diagram of the Kaohsiung MRT in Taiwan feels like it could be so much better.

I made this starter pack of transit map makers on Bluesky back when I first joined. It's been while and I bet there are more of you out there now. Who are we missing? Let me know! bsky.app/starter-pack...

Thanks for the shout-out, Karl! Not sure I ever expected this map to be a substitute for Strava :-) For those that are interested, here's my project page for this diagram of Spokane's streetcars in 1912: transitmap.net/electric-rai...

The similarity to the F-Zug/Trans Europe Express rail diagram of the same year is striking.

New on the blog! A sprawling official diagram of transport in Brittany, France does a lot of things right, but also omits something Really Important.

New on the blog! Phoenix's light rail system has expanded to two lines – is their new diagram up to the task?

A small indication of the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes before we even *see* a transit diagram! (Also, I low-key have a crush on that hypothetical built-out system map)

As promised, here's my quick diagrammatic redesign of that Queensland Rail map!

And here's a side-by-side comparison of the two different approaches to this design problem. Mine is on the right, just in case that wasn't clear :-)

Kind of amazed that this 17-year old subway map remains untouched on the S.I. Newhouse ferry.
