I'm the author of this page - I know full well that the the stations are only joined up with straight lines. The mashup comes from a research project where I only needed to know the locations of stations and the connections between them - it took me about 5 minutes to adapt my database for this mashup!
Sadly, to show all the lines following their correct paths, it would probably go beyond what is possible with Google maps. I know I could increase the resolution of the lines, but it would then take ages to render! I was only doing it to play around with polylines ;)
It's only naive!
