🇨🇳🗽 i finally got around to remaking the terrible subway map of my hometown beijing, this time in the style of vignelli!

full image: ibb.co/album/tzt8H6
a diagram of rail transit lines in beijing including the subway, trams, and suburban rail. the design language is based on massimo vignelli's 1972 new york city subway map and uses muted colours on a light background with a folded paper texture. there is a legend and list of services on the top.

If you enjoy both #RhodeIsland and #rivers, stop by The Map Center (@mapcenter.com) to check out (and maybe buy?) this poster I designed for them, showing the state's streams in the style of a transit network map.
A framed mockup of a Rhode Island stream map. The state is green, with surrounding states in tan tones. The rivers are dark blue and are labeled with their names as well as cities along the way. Everything is done in 45° angles and the design language of a transit map. A detail image of the map, showing the area of the Pawtuxet River. A low-angle detail image of the map, showing the area around Providence.

I don't get to print this diagram of the European E-road network very often, but I can still look at it with pride when I do. I can't say that about every piece of design I did five years ago!

Bad new out of Yakima, where the city council has declined to renew their operating agreement with Yakima Valley Trolleys, meaning that trolley rides and museum events will be suspended at the end of the year.

New on the blog! A long-overdue look at the new Chicago 'L' diagram.
Submission – Official Map: Chicago ‘L’, 2025
Submitted by Scott (among others), who says: CTA updated their iconic 'L' diagram earlier this year, and now that the temporary station outages for the Red-Purple Modernization project have been completed, figured this would be a great time to get your thoughts since the new version is a pretty dramatic departure from the previous iterations. Transit Maps says: Well, this one has sat in my queue for way too long – sorry for the delay in getting to this interesting new development in the world of Chicago rail maps!

New on the blog! A lovely little fantasy map for Honolulu's Skyline by Justin Kunimune.
Submission – Fantasy Map: Honolulu Skyline by Justin Kunimune
Submitted by Justin, who says: Hi, I'm a big fan of this blog! I've been working on a fantasy diagram for the Honolulu rapid transit system, Skyline, and wanted to submit it for you to review. As of this year, the system has one line that runs from East Kapolei (Kualakaʻi Station) to Kalihi (Kahauiki Station), with plans to extend it into downtown Honolulu.

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.
Detail of the Washington, D.C. Metro map, showing hatching on the Silver line east of Stadium-Armory station to both New Carrollton station and Downtown Largo station to indicate that the service alternates between those two termini.

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!

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)

🗺️ 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.
Submission – Unofficial Map: Trams of The Hague, The Netherlands by Hugo von der Thüsen
Submitted by the designer, Hugo, who says: I have always been ashamed of the official transit diagram for the tram system of The Hague [PDF link – Cam]. It’s a weird A4-shaped portrait diagram oriented so that the beach is at the top which is a strange choice as most residents of The Hague would tell you they think the beach is to the West/left.

The KC Streetcar's Main Street extension opens today, and there's a new map for the occasion – is it up to the task?
Submission – Official Map: Kansas City Streetcar Extension, 2025
Submitted by Jon in KC, who says: This is the new KC Streetcar pylon map, updated to reflect the Main Street Extension that opens this Friday, October 24th. It also shows the Riverfront Extension, which will open sometime early next year. I'm curious to get your thoughts. I have some concerns about the limited amount of contrast between the dark blue station lettering getting lost on the darker backgrounds, Art Museums and UMKC in particular, but maybe I'm overthinking it.
