Looking good, although I would recommend using a different symbol for interchange or non-interchange stations. Look at metro maps such as London, they have one symbol for an interchange, and another just for a stop. Also, it you want to make more advance metro maps, download the free vector program, Inkscape. This would allow you to manipulate your maps further, add water and generally achieve a higher standard! Great job so far!

I typically use illustrator but I wiped my computer for the latest mac OS update and did a fresh install so now I'm slowly working on getting everything back. This was just a fun tool someone on reddit suggested so I went ahead and tried it out. SO MUCH EASIER than illustrator for just sketching a quick map since it's designed to only do the specific things i'm trying to do. in illustrator it's way more work even to make a sketch map.

I've tried different styles on different maps, but since I'm from here I tend to use Chicago's style of just widening the station bubble to extend over all the lines at transfer points.

This is a map I made for a fantasy boat transit system on Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and the southwest side ship canal. All the station bubbles are separated because there are no free transfers between routes.

And this is a way cooler fantasy map I made of the TARP dropshafts and tunnels styled to look like a transit map. Here, transfers are shown with bubbles and regular stations with black dots! I don't have much of a preference visually but now that I've got a sketch map I can try some different things out for my official JMetro transit maps
