After reading the article I realized the photo is actually a depiction of two new maps being tested side-by-side and not a comparison of a new map to an old map (as I would have expected from the headline).
- Ericson2314 5y agoOh, Perfect!!
- jsmith45 5y agoYep. Actually there can be up to three "maps" displayed side by side. The new metro "diagram" that tries to to clearly show information about how the routes work, without being geographically accurate. The new map that is geographically accurate, but less detailed with respect to the routes, but also shows selected bus stations. Optionally, in lower Manhattan, a third geographic map that for lower Manhattan blown up to the be the same size as the others (and allowing more detail). A smaller blown-up version is included in in the main geographical map as an inset, with greater detail, but perhaps not as much as the fully sized version? Unclear.
