I much prefer the “new” map. I’ve never been to Boston. I know nothing about it’s layout. When I give myself to go from, say, Wonderland to Braintree, the new one performs better for a few reasons: - the names of the important nodes are more prominent - the lines are less prominent, there’s no need for them to be so overbearing - the multi-coloured train stations give me a reduced hint as to which lines stop there - for some reason, and I can’t put my finger on it, I find that I can more easily create a mental model of the city. While the actual map makes me feel like a mouse im a labyrinth, scurrying around, never knowing the overall picture.
