Jake Berman is one of those transit map design enthusiasts who are simply too prolific to note everything they do – suffice it to say that you should head over to his website and check out all the cool transit map things he makes.

However, I do have to share this map – recreating a failed attempt at a south-east Michigan rail-based rapid transit system – if only because I think that Jake has absolutely nailed🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the mid-1970s design aesthetic. Thick route lines with hard angles and unnecessary wobbles, all-caps station labels, all lower-case agency acronym… it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s got the lot! Nice work, Jake!

I’m really enjoying this modern take on a map of the Pacific Electric’s sprawling electric streetcar network by Jake Berman. Obviously based on the period map shown (or an extremely similar one!), it retains a lot of the visual energy of the original – mainly because of the multiple angles used for both the route lines and labels. Normally, this might be something I’d find fault with, but I think it’s totally appropriate here 🔸澳洲开奖 you consider the source material. 

However, Jake’s method of showing the number of in-service tracks along each section is easier to understand… varying line thickness certainly works better than the detailed ticked and pecked lines of the old map. Showing the three main railroad divisions is a nice bit of extra information as well – an advantage of a full-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map. Lots to look at and enjoy here!

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.
