I thought I'd seen those in stations of a different Asian metro...had a look around for photos.* In the few systems I checked, 3D maps can be seen in Beijing Subway,[1] Seoul Metro,[2] and Shanghai Metro;[3] plus this station in Tokyo, albeit a rail-metro station.[4] Tokyo Metro also has detailed, unusually discoverable 3D maps online.[5] Counterexample: Guangzhou Metro doesn't seem to have any, despite its modern look.[6] Speaking of which, these new systems all look remarkably similar. Is there only a single manufacturer of platform screen doors and tactile paving? Even Delhi Metro, with very few photos, has that same look in its newer stations.[7] [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clockwise_platform_panorama_of_L10_Haidian_Huangzhuang_Station_(20170728104910).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clockwise_platform_p...

Photos of station interiors should show the actual posted maps, then? Nope. 90% of results are identical shots down the length of a platform. Turns out, it's Wikimedia Commons to the rescue

I recall seeing a similar map of Taipei Main Station [1] when visiting Taiwan. [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/comments/5vaz30/beautifully_drawn_map_of_the_taipei_main_station/ https://www.reddit.com/r/taiwan/comments/5vaz30/beautifully_...
