The Retro NYC Subway Map Design Nerds Love Makes a Comeback (Gift Article) The redesigned map of the New York City system, the first to be introduced in nearly half a century, is reminiscent of a version from the 1970s that was reviled by many traditionalists.

I love the story of the 1970s @nycmetro.bsky.social riders’ revolt—against a map.

It may just have been ahead of its time. The same concept, a schematic rather than a geographic map, was unveiled again today.

Have any other major #subwaymaps resisted this long? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/n...

Random artwork while working on many upcoming maps 😊 (what if they put all bullets instead of just 12) in the 1970s @mta.info NYC subway map covers.
