End of map trip to US: I arranged a meeting between two archrivals of NY subway map: @mta and @kickmap (@FlammSteven left, Eddie & Dan Jabbour right). Both maps trace back to Vignelli (1972) but evolved in different directions. Fascinating discussion: thanks guys! Photo: @londowl

You also published a trunk-colored diagrammatic map with separated routes four years before your hero Massimo Vignelli came up with the same idea for Men’s Vogue. This new @mta map just confirms your standing as a thought leader! A trailblazer!

The @VignelliCenter have uploaded a recording of my talk last week on the transition from the 1972 Massimo Vignelli diagrammatic subway map to the 1979 geographic map (John Tauranac, Nobu Siraisi et al.): m.youtube.com/watch?v=NAMq1M…

Raleigh D'Adamo (at my symposium, "The Subway Map: The Last 50 Years, The Next 50 Years", Cooper Union, October 27, 2015) gives the full story of how the New York City subway map became route-coloured in 1967. youtube.com/watch?v=ZaGereKE…

Good morning and thanks for sharing your photos and for catching this. We will have our teams update the maps to reflect the restored transfer connections shortly. ^JG

I should get @KickMap on the podcast so we can just ramble about subway map design for 45 minutes.

F train express service begun operation on 16 September but @MTA doesn't seem to care to show it on the map.
With subway systems things stand pretty clear, if a service is not on the map it doesn't exist.
Thanks @KickMap for the information 👍

As lights start turning back on, our crews are checking signals and operating test trains. A big thank you to staff driving buses, setting up generators, updating service info and ensuring customer safety on tracks and in stations.

I’ve been home for an hour or so already but I had to abandon the uptown F at 23rd Street and walk over to the N at Madison Square. That went mostly fine but we did bypass a non-lit 57th Street on our way to Queensborough Plaza. – at Long Island City, Queens

#TodayinHistory: In 1870, Alfred Ely Beach opened the Beach Pneumatic Subway – a 312 ft. tunnel running underneath Broadway between Warren Street and Murray Street. The first attempt at underground transit in #NYC, the tunnel operated a single car by means of compressed air.

To celebrate the Yanks' hosting the AL Wild Card game, the Lo-V trains will depart from the uptown express tracks at Grand Central at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night en route to Yankee Stadium. It's a 35-minute non-stop ride.

Resembling a diagram for electrical circuits, this historical reconstruction of an 1893-1903 #transit #map shows the complex web of multiple tracks, rail interchanges and train storage yards in #Manhattan. Stay tuned for our upcoming #exhibit, "Navigating New York," opening 10/3.
