#MapMondays! Today we’re looking at the current distorted subway map as it compares to a geographically accurate version. This map is less distorted than the 1972 Vignelli map (for sale on our website) or other cities around the world like Philadelphia and Hong Kong. #mapmonday #subwaymaps #transitmaps #transit #publictransit #cartogroahy #infomap #urbanism #nyc #nycsubway #nychistory #brooklyn #manhattan #newyorkcity #mtanyc #nyctransit #urban #nycurbanism (at Fulton Center Transportation Hub) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd5c2DHi7S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dsrmkgas1j6i

#MapMondays! For #MapMonday this week we are looking at the map one of NYC's newest and exciting modes of public transit – NYC Ferry! Ferries were one of the first modes of transportation for New Yorkers long before bridges spanned the city's rivers and now ferries are back and better than ever. The ferry system is a fast, affordable and enjoyable alternative to subways and busses. The @nyc_ferry routes have expanded over the past years, with the addition of Bronx and Upper East Side last week! Ferries also have a bar, and an outdoor seating area to take in the view of the city as you sail under the Brooklyn Bridge or out to Rockaway Beach – it doesn't get much better than that! Tired of hot platforms, subways delays and traffic? Try the NYC Ferry this season! Do you take the #NYC #Ferry?

The subway map without the L ☹️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The L train shutdown has an official start date – April 27, 2019. The MTA has announced a date for the reconstruction of the Canarsie Tunnel, which was badly damaged during Hurricane Sandy, along with details about replacement transit including expanded bus, ferry and Citibike service. The tunnel between Eighth Ave in #Manhattan and Bedford Avenue in #Brooklyn will be closed for fifteen months. The L will continue to run in Brooklyn between #Bedford and #Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway during reconstruction. Additionally, there will be overnight and weekend closures (between Eighth Avenue and #Broadway Junction) every weekend in February, the first three weekends in March. New M14 Select Bus service will replace the L on 14th Street along with five new bus routes. #Ferry service will link #Williamsburg with East 20th St. #Citibike will also add new stations in Williamsburg and along 14th Street. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Lshutdown #ltrain #subway #transitmaps #greenpoint #14thstreet #transit #urbanism #LtrainShutdown #bedfordave (at Union Square L Train) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpm9wDxFelz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y3ki1v1kvn17

#MapMondays! The most geographically accurate NYC subway track map, ever! The map, from Van Maps @vanshnookenraggen, "is a new detailed look at the subway system that most riders never see" and is now available at vanmaps.com. You can also read the full post on how he created the map on his blog, here is his short description of why it is unique: "Unlike a traditional subway map which just shows train routes, stations, and a simplified geography for easier navigation, the Track Map shows how the system actually looks; each track, each switch, each station platform and each train yard is shown in a clear and clean design. While the Track Map offers a service guide it is not intended to replace the subway map as a wayfinding tool. The Track Map shows the paths of the tracks so that the viewer can see how trains are able to run. If you've ever wondered why certain trains don't run to certain places this map will tell you why. The idea behind this was to remove all distortion from traditional subway maps and see the system down to its bones... The more complicated interchanges and interlockings are shown in a blown up detail section along with a list of as many provisions and abandoned sections of the system I have discovered." #MapMonday #TransitMaps #NYCsubway #Cartography #subwaymap #MTANYC (at Fulton Center Transportation Hub)

A fascinating step-by-step explanation of the detective work used to track down the cause of signal problems on the Singapore subway (with the code used!). Even if you aren't into transit minutiae, it's a great example of complicated analysis presented simply and comprehensively. (Saturday night woooo!)
