Showing other regional services like PATH in greater detail is a good use for a regional transit map, similar to the one put together for the Super Bowl. However, 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map is a subway map, and its primary purpose is to serve as a guide to the subway system. We put a lot of thought into how to reduce the visual distractions and clutter on the map—we don’t even show 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划own railroads in much detail—but this proposal would add to those non-subway distractions.

We already show PATH where it meets the subway system, although without seeming to imply nonexistent free transfers at the Sixth Avenue stations, and making PATH more prominent would require shrinking the subway portion of the map slightly to accommodate more of the New Jersey waterfront on the same size paper.

That’s a pretty emphatic “no” in my book. Adam makes some good points – the representation of the 6th Avenue PATH stations would need some work to make clear that transfers to/from PATH are paid, not free – but it does seem like very insular thinking to me. Adam notes that the role of the map is to “serve as a guide to the subway system,” and that’s true… but I would like to expand that role to say: “serve as a guide to using rapid transit in the Greater New York area”. Despite state boundaries, the influence of New York doesn’t just suddenly stop at the Hudson River.

A compelling proposal to enhance the representation of “New York’s second subway” – the PATH to New Jersey – on the official MTA subway map. PATH carries over 70 million passengers each year, runs 24 hours a day and even accepts pay-per-ride MTA MetroCards as fare payment, but is relegated to the 168澳洲十开奖网’s subsidiary “commuter/passenger rail track” graphical style, while the New Jersey shoreline itself is completely absent (the Hudson River instead looks particularly wide at that point).

I personally think that this is a simple but incredibly awesome amendment to the New York subway map that provides useful information to the end user – which is what a transit map should be about, right?
