The current NYC subway map dates from a design first published in June 1979, since then, only minor revisions had been changed(Wikipedia). After the integration of the subway lines by New York City, official map eventually showed all the unified subway lines and put many efforts on the map to be a guide to New York City. There were other subway maps, which produced by commercial companies, covered all network to fulfill the public’s demand(Wayback Machine).
In its early period, due to run subway lines by three different companies, official subway map had been published separately and didn’t contained the whole network(Wikipedia). New York City subway Map has a distinguishable development related to the NYC subway’s history. These interesting facts led me to dig into A brief history of the New York City subway map. During the research, I found that people from 1904 to 1940 should have been inconvenient passengers – there was no official map which showed the whole network subway routes. Also, whenever I try to transfer from one route to another, the subway map is the best way to figure my way out. When I traveled around New York City last year, I had to admit that the New York City subway has a brilliant system, which works 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
