lyra loves public transit

ORIGINAL WORK: New York-New Jersey Rapid Transit Diagram (United States), showing New York City Subway, PATH, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, Newark Light Rail, JFK and Newark AirTrain, all three regional railroads, all three ferry systems, the Roosevelt Island Tramway; and connections to Amtrak, +selectbusservice (rapid bus) and other bus shuttles.

these four diagrams show different service conditions for the system: weekday (including peak service), late night, weekend, and severe winter weather. unfortunately i never completed the fifth and final map of accessibility-specific information. these are some of the first complete transit maps i made, and they are quite out of date, but im posting them here so that i can reference them when i finally post my review of the current NYC Subway map (which was requested by a follower)

VBZ Züri-Line Liniennetz Stadt und Region Zürich (1992), design concept by Anne and Hermann Eggmann (SGV/AGI)

this stylish diagram shows trams, city and regional buses, PostBus, AZZK buses, and S-Bahn; as well as indications of other railway operators, intercity train connections, and ferries. the front (right image) shows all lines with the s-bahn services condensed into a single black stroke, while the back (left image) shows detailed s-bahn services superimposed over a greyscale version of the front side.

at some point I’ll do a review of the official île-de-france transit map, and i think this serves as a really good backdrop to help understand it. the per-system color coding makes it a lot easier to see what is metro and what is rer etc from far away. ill try to do my write up relatively soon and i’ll be sure to link your version op!
