The Subway Weekender
Friday, September 16th, 2011Redesigned New York City Subway Map to debut in June 2010
Friday, May 28th, 2010Concurrent with the subway service revisions planned to take effect June 27, 2010, a new subway map edition will be released that does more than just reflect the changes in service. The new map will still closely resemble the current one, with the following significant design changes:
- Subway lines shadowed (outlined in gray)
- Service Guide removed
- Accessible Stations list removed
- Bus transfer bubbles compacted
- Parks will be olive colored
- Water will be a deeper blue
- Manhattan will be 30% wider
- Staten Island will be 50% smaller
- Other boroughs enlarged
- Most ferry routes removed
