A Subway Map Reimagined for the Digital Era

New York’s subway just got a sleek new look. The MTA has rolled out a redesigned map that forgoes geographic accuracy in favor of clean lines and better usability. Created by the MTA’s in-house design team, the updated map simplifies the spaghetti of subway routes into a simpler style that is easier to use on the screen of a mobile device. It keeps the classic color coding but adds a white background, black dots, and horizontal labels for an ADA-friendly refresh.
