Show us your City Transit Maps!

Thought I would link you an interesting transit map blog here...
They have a look at current as well as vintage maps, rating them and discussing. Thought it could be useful for those in this board interested in the design aspect.

2006 and "final" design - now the bus lines are signed with their street names too and the bus network itself has achieved its transition from being the network's backbone to being a tramway feeder and traffic reliever, as well as becoming a local system designed to finely serve city districts and link close areas together. (That's the Parisian model which I'd call relieving/alternative or simply "full", compared to (almost)-no-bus networks (Montpellier), feeder networks (Tyne and Wear), or feeder/suburban backbone networks (Köln))

Holy cow, that map is simply awesome. Great work making the map, and for that matter planning out those routes!

sorry if this wrong place wot am i missing to do this to my avenues ??? please help              

[dogma555 187]

Man, some of these are just so remarkably well done.. I've got to make one like that some time.

 

Here's all I have for now.. its incredibly makeshift, but here goes..

Here is a Metro map of one of my cities called Lilleby

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

What I do love is the circle line on that map. What I don't, is the labels on a 90° angle. Could you possibly rotate that for clarity? (just a thought).

Looks like a map possible to route expansion. Colours and line markers are clean, nice job!

[RepublicMaster 428]

Very Nice maps, I must make some myself one day

[Liszak 48]

I just wanted to test this new font that I recently downloaded. So I made this fictional London-like scheme of Underground line.

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Just built a map using SC4Mapper's RGB information for my new region.

 

I'm not sure how much detail has been lost, but it's more than good enough for me. I would say it's about the same level of detail as in the normal SC4 Data View map overlay.

 

 

 

More to come soon.

So I started a new region using Menno's New York map. The largest town and capital of the region is Kingstown on the southern shore of King's Bay (RL Wallabout Bay). I wanted to make a transport map for it and as it's only 1815 (I'm treating the game's year 0 as corresponding to 1750), the ferry system is the only form of public transport, so here it is! I tried to make it look sort of old fashioned so no fancy symbols, just good ole lines and dots!

 

 

For anyone wondering the RL locations are:

Banata = Manhattan

Poseydona = Long Island

Lusipe River = East River

Tersayra is at the mouth of Maspeth Creek.

I'm not sure if anyone else here has come across this before, but I think that it's a worthy addition to this thread. It puts into perspective how large New York's subway network is compared to the rest in North America.

Maybe it's just my sleep deprived brain, but that xkcd map looks kinda like a droopy South America....

(Hastily) updated SL map, valid from April 13 onwards. New additions involve Line 7, which was unexpectedly voted as a Northern Atoll link (for years, people were struggling to secure funding for a Line 3 extension) and which is the first route not to connect to the main line (notwithstanding Line 4 which is connected at the Tenera Junction complex, and the ONSR). The ferry has been redrawn in the light of possible upcoming development, and the engineering works at the horribly chaotic and unplanned Calleta are finished too. All in all, minor update; the ONSR, a small mountain line far away in the southern reaches of the Sansara mainland, was finally added to the map but has obviously no rail connection to the rest of the network. (There are planes from Anton to Neumögen however).

Looks like the NRW networks in Germany, only those are really intertwined in each other in some form or some other.

[atsummerlin53 47]

Well, it's not the greatest in the world, but this is my rail network.

Nice job Dogma555.

 

I know from experience making a map like that is a real pain

[vivapanda 422]

I have another map from Stalpen, the city where the S-TOG originates. This is a map of the underground system (Tunnel Banen). 

It has probably the largest 'subway tracks length : inhabitants' ratio ever as the city has only 150,000 inhabitants, it should rather be seen as a tram system I suppose

 

The map is inspired by Lisbon's metro

 

 

[TheBarnaby 4]

My work in progress map of my work in progress GLR system in my newest region (aka Logotopia). Gong for a mixed style between tokyo and chicago as far as the map goes. Wanted to go for something simplistic while still making relative sense. Still thinking of names for some of the stuff, like lines, stations, etc.

 

NOTE: Map not to scale. (Probably should include that in the final version)

 

 

[flatron 83]

That's the first transit map I made with inkscape that's presentable. It shows the Tram-network of a fictional, midsize(50'000 to 150'000 inhabitants) german city with a highspeed link.

[atsummerlin53 47]

I wouldn't mind seeing some more station names, though, Flatron, but that's a decent first effort!

[Linoa06 1,374]

 

My latest map....still a WIP. It's the city of Bravil (my Cities in Motion 2 map), so it ties in with this other regional map (which I had posted before, but here it's updated!):

 

 

I know Bloodmayne station is there twice -- it's just S-Bahn Bravil is operated by a different company that named its stops on its own, and the S-Bahn station for Bloodmayne is 200 meters off the main "real" Bloodmayne station.

I made these two maps for trainz, but still:

This one map ties with my Lower Nibenay regional map. This is an update into the Leyawiin Cities in Motion simulation I had posted a few pages ago. So, here goes! I admit I went overboard with the Cologne city design. But I -am- homesick

@Linoa06: I seriously love the seriousness all your maps have. They could show on the platforms of any city in the world (specially Germany) and nobody would find anything strange.

[Sabretooth78 808]

Here's a "region-wide congestion" map I had made for a CJ a long, long time ago (which has since disappeared from Simtropolis):

 

 

I recall this being fairly easy to create in Photoshop.  As you can see, there wasn't much any congestion to be had.

Thanks! It's still actually a work in progress (the legend is off, and in the actual Cities in Motion save file, I'm currently building a fourth S-Bahn line), but I really wanted it posted.

Thats the sort of thing most of us use as a base for accurately mapping out cities. In my case it led to this:

(Also, I cannot for the life of me get these map pages into a PDF in any sort of readable manner. Anyone have any suggestions on how to compile 100-odd pages plus index?)

And zooming out a bit for my next project...

This one is going to take a while - still got about 500 names to make up!
