Directly related to the last post, here’s another map of greater New York’s regional rail. Designed by Jake Berman in 2010, this map takes a completely different approach to Carter’s work.

It uses colour-coding to differentiate between agencies, rather than routes, and shows services as main lines and branches, rather than showing each and every route along their entire length. This makes for a simpler-looking, more compact map, although it means that the map doesn’t even attempt to show any service patterns.

Aesthetically, the map is reminiscent of the stark, angular look favoured in the U.S. in the 1970s and early 1980s (examples here and here).

What we like:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 The treatment of the major hub stations on this map is lovely – the grey background simply and effectively sets them apart. Inclusion of the AirTrain lines at JFK and Newark is nicely handled, while the use of striking magenta type to call out transfers to other services is fantastic.

What we don’t like:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 One minor nitpick is that the western NJ Transit lines look a little cramped in comparison to other parts of the map. Also, the names of branch lines are quite small and hard to read because they’re contained within the route lines themselves.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 A completely different way of tackling the same problem as the previous map, but equally valid and attractive. I do slightly🔸澳洲幸运10预测 prefer being able to trace a route from one end to the other on a map, but this is still a comprehensive guide to regional rail in and around New York. F🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划stars.
