The Chicago map not only includes the CTA (the "subway"), but commuter rail lines in the city as well (Metra). This is actually a very useful feature, especially for people using these lines coming in to the city as there are multiple places you can make a direct transfer to the CTA.
Perhaps there are maps targeted to tourists or suburbanites that show it, but none I've ever seen as clearly as this: http://www.inat.fr/metro/chicago/ http://www.inat.fr/metro/chicago/
- gok 7y agoIt's pretty but it would be more useful if it included bus lines, which gets more ridership than the L and Metra combined.
- nkrisc 7y agoTrue, but then it starts to get more complicated as well. The full system CTA maps found at a lot of station and some bus stops are actually very nice, in my opinion. If I recall correctly I've even seen some that show a circular area around the map's location that represents one mile to give you an idea of what's in walking distance around the station.
