I was saying that I love chicago, but prefer the map with the blocks and everything like they have in the free map they hand out in stations.
Also, for some dumbass reason the NYMTA's website has the subway map in two pictures instead of as one. Guh.

I usually learn my way around cities based entirely upon the subway system for the first few days.
I'm really good at finding my way around, though. I even mastered the UWS night-time replacements for local/express trains along CPW in new york. ABCD are my bitches!

I used to have almost all of the maps I'm posting on my walls, but I lost them this summer and it makes me very sad. It took a lot of travel to collect everything I had, but that's just how it goes, I guess. Maybe someday I'll build my collection back up again.

The stops on this map are very strangely translated into English.I used to live right off of "Front Garden Street" on the U1, which is innocent enough name, but "As-If Road" and "Grief Pill Street" seem a bit goofier.Vienna's system was great & well planned, but for my purposes I wished there was an easier way to get from the U6 to the U1.

Heeeey, this is a good thread. I need an app recommendation, actually: the map that comes on the iphone is woeful at subway stops--it basically doesn't show most of them unless you're zoomed in to the highest level. Is there a good map program that integrates transit??
I want to bike to the Euclid A and it's ridic complicated to find it on the map when there's no indicator.
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Saturday, 6 July 2013 12:50 (twelve years ago)
You've got a few options. I have iTrans, which mimics the official mta map with additional functionality (similar to another app, called embark, I think, though I'm not so familiar with that one. I think it's popular?).But I also have Kickmap, which I think has a much nicer design.
― chinavision!, Saturday, 6 July 2013 12:59 (twelve years ago)
All these apps show a general subway map, unrelated to real geography, until you select a station and display it on a street map. I think iTrans is the one where you can opt to download neighborhood maps as well, so you can identify the locations of the stairwells and exits in advance to assist with orientation.
― chinavision!, Saturday, 6 July 2013 13:02 (twelve years ago)
Well it turns out I didn't have googlemap on my phone, so I just downloaded it and all the little blue "M"s are there. Phew. I'll look those up anyway, though, out of interest. That stairway info is some highly specific shit!
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Saturday, 6 July 2013 13:02 (twelve years ago)
My MTA app has to also have bus maps though. Which reminds me to download the Manhattan one, because I needed it on Monday.
― Tottenham Heelspur (in orbit), Saturday, 6 July 2013 13:04 (twelve years ago)
yeah I don't think there's any good app that integrates bus and subway service? which is stupid, obviously. my guess is that the app makers all start from a position of designing a new/adapting the existing subway map, which doesn't really lend itself to displaying anything based on the real, actual, existing streets.
― chinavision!, Saturday, 6 July 2013 13:13 (twelve years ago)
That makes sense--bus maps are part of the same app but a different map you have to dl and switch to, which is okay but it would be cooler if they were like an overleaf that you could drop down. O well.
What I really needed was a regular map program that just SHOWS SUBWAY STOPS, because the one that came on the iphone didn't. Super lame.

I am a longtime stan of the DC area Metrorail. As it expands into exurbs it is evolving in its vibe. The map is still a spider - central hub and unconnected ends - but I've been living with it since 1976 and I have become attached to it.
