I’ve posted a number of articles about the design of subway maps over the years here on The Travelogue.  Let’s just say the New York City Subway map is not my favorite by any means, and while the 1979 Tauranac version that is in use today (albeit with plenty of revisions over the years) certainly has some revolutionary features, I don’t think it stands on the same pedestal as “classics” such as Harry Beck’s London Underground diagram.  

Yesterday, the New York Times published an interactive article entitled The New York City Subway Map as You’ve Never Seen It Before. It is a very well done piece and I learned some things I hadn’t known before.  For example, did you know that there are only ten buildings marked on the NYC subway map?  

Oren’s Reading List is an occasional feature on The Travelogue in which I share articles that I’ve read that might also be of interest to the readers of this website.
