Maps 🗺️

we should all be celebrating the release of the new NYC subway map, just released yesterday. 

its getting a lot of hate, but its much easier to read for navigation. The new map is a diagrammatic map—stations are spaced out evenly, and its focused on how lines connect, not where they are geographically. The old map showed stations closer or farther apart based on their actual physical distance. For actual transit users, this new version makes routes clearer and transfers  easier to spot. This is about getting you there, not showing you where everything is in the city
