Scaling the tube

Various mass transit systems, all mapped to the same scale.

The Tube is quite big, after all...

Wow - I like that. All we need now it a t-shirt of it

Very cool - and looks suspiciously like some form of nervepath diagram ... I wonder if the tube layout was in fact the plan for a steampunk neural network which never got any further ...

It would have been helpful to see BART mapped against the London Tube system, not simply MUNI. Of course it's going to look smaller when it's just the City.

Yes, and RER for Paris likewise.

My point too. The RER is as much a part of the RATP network as the 14 metro lines.

I suddenly feel a lot better about my SimCity tube runs!

Amazing how they all seem to have their own characters: London, a rather bloated caterpillar running off to the right; Tokyo, a Portuguese Man-o-War floating near the surface of the sea; Boston, dancing, her hair streaming behind; Montreal, tripping in the midst of her dance; San Francisco, a l***e (can't get them out of my mind!).

And the tube used to be even bigger; went all the way out to Aylesbury at one time.

I emailed the guy who made this the other day, as he really blew it for San Francisco. He included the MUNI, which is more of a streetcar system, while leaving out BART, which is a larger true subway system.
