Die MTA-Karte verfügt über eine geografische Genauigkeit, die Ihnen genau sagt, wo sich die Dinge befinden. Roberts experimentierte mit einer schematischen Karte, die dem Gehirn hilft, die Form des Netzwerks besser zu verarbeiten. Auf dieser Karte gehen alle Linien strahlenförmig von der Battery und Downtown Brooklyn aus.

This is cool!
And TIL that there’s a subway line on (in? under?) Staten Island.
I love how this looks wacky on first glance but actually works
This is the future liberals want
I don’t get the benefit. It’s just a regular map scaled weird.
It highlights the ends of the M line being so close together. The IBX can’t fill that gap soon enough.
Boy i hate this. It is far more confusing than the standard map.
Looked cool at first but the 7 train going north is hurting my soul
Not even in an ideal world does Red Hook get a subway stop
It would be soooo annoying to do like 60mph and then suddenly crawl to make any of the right or left turns
Can i get a high quality version of this?
This is actually really conceptually interesting.
Because it’s true that for many practical purposes, the main two factors in getting between two points in a city is how far away from the center they are and what the angle is between them relative to the center.
Because the fact is, the principal transportation for most people is heading towards the city for work and away from the city to go home. Things like Subway lines are built largely around this principle. This map just makes that even more explicit.
I don’t think I’ve ever use this for navigation. But it’s not a coincidence that the subway structure maps so cleanly to this. Which is really something to think about.
I love it, but I don’t know if I’m supposed to hate it.
We eating good tonight boys. Finally a map porn
