The purpose of this tutorial is to show how to create a vector graphics topological map of a single rapid transit, tram, railway, waterway, road or long footpath, etc, route. Topological maps are straight-line diagrams or schematics that display not only the routes, but also other information such as stations and travel zones (as in the case of ...
The New York City Subway map is an anomaly among subway maps around the world, in that it shows city streets, parks, and neighborhoods juxtaposed among curved subway lines, whereas other subway maps (like the London Underground map) do not show such aboveground features and show subway lines as straight and at 45- or 90-degree angles.

A transit map is a topological map in the form of a schematic diagram used to illustrate the routes and stations within a public transport system—whether this be bus, tram, rapid transit, commuter rail or ferry routes. Metro maps, subway maps, or tube maps of metropolitan railways are some common examples.
Current official transit maps of the New York City Subway are based on a 1979 design by Michael Hertz Associates. [136] The maps are not geographically accurate due to the complexity of the system (Manhattan being the smallest borough, but having the most services), but they do show major city streets as an aid to navigation.
The file size of this SVG image may be abnormally large because most or all of its text has been converted to paths rather than using the more conventional <text> element. . Unless rendering the text of the SVG file produces an image with text that is incurably unreadable due to technical limitations, it is highly recommended to change the paths back to t
The 'Transport Map' layer, when sufficiently zoomed-in, shows routes and route numbers in red. Go to OpenStreetMap and zoom into the general area where the route runs. Switch to the "Transport Map" layer using the 'Layers' sidebar on the right. Now you should see all the transit routes highlighted on the map, with numbers indicating the route ...
Michael Hertz Associates (MHA) is a New York City graphic design firm, best known for its 1979 design of the New York City Subway map and the station and subway car signage systems that the map engendered. [1] The 1979 map, with some modifications, remains in use today. The firm specializes in maps and environmental graphics for mass transit ...
Make slight adjustment to Yellow Line Rush-Plus switch to Franconia-Springfield station to clarify that the train turns to the new routing starting from King Street station, not from Eisenhower Avenue Station. 17:59, 4 June 2012: 760 × 630 (63 KB) Rfc1394: Adjust "under construction" indicator so it's not butted up next to rush-hour legend
