Booth – TRANSIT MAPS 2022 2022

Description

Transit Maps 2022 surveys new, historical, unofficial and fantasy transit diagrams worldwide, praising thoughtful design and calling out common faults. Highlights include illustrated historical posters (Thames Valley c.1950, Baltimore 1929, Kingston 1910), a faithful Southern Electric 1934 recreation, and strong modern pieces such as a tidy Caltrain service diagram, an integrated Wales rail-and-bus map, a clear Asturias railway diagram, and a well-received radial official map for Cologne. Creative works include an isometric Barcelona metro, a consolidated San Francisco rail map (label contrast issues), a layered GO Transit Lakeshore strip map (better with a grid), a convincing NYC elevated-rail fantasy, and a technically superb London-as-NYC mashup. Criticisms target Madrid Cercanías’ sloppy drawing and image quality, Taipei’s awkward radial layout, and TER Fluo Grand Est’s weak hierarchy. Reviews note regional updates—Schleswig-Holstein cramped, Metrovalencia improved interchange accuracy, Santiago shifting toward diagrammatic form, NJ Transit’s major geographic improvement, WMATA label inconsistencies, and LA Metro’s neat K Line integration. Recurring advice: use consistent grids, clearer typography and labels, clearer hierarchy, and better accessibility marking.
