The new design is quite similar to a subway map design from the ’70s, by Massimo Vignelli, which was only used for a few year before it was scrapped by the department. The new map shows how the subway tracks connect and interact with each other in a clearer way– for instance, in the current design, different lines are combined into one at points when they run together, but the new design actually shows them all separated, just running parallel to one another. The MTA is currently testing out a new subway map design. The modern map we’ve been using for the past 40 years is apparently not very geographically accurate, so the transit authority has been exploring ways to better communicate how the system actually works for users. The MTA is currently experimenting with a newly designed transit map, which has appeared for rider feedback in nine stations this far, according to an MTA interview with the Wall Street Journal.
