Project Description:
This map, produced by Bill Rankin, illustrates all mass urban transit systems of North America in a single space, facilitating a quick overview and density comparison between subway systems of different cities.
At a glance, many metros seem to be comparable in scale, but what separates New York from Baltimore is density: station-to-station distance, line overlap, and linkages. Most systems are organized as a hub with spokes; the two notable exceptions are New York and Mexico City, both of which are more like nets.
The map doesn't include systems which serve a single hub station or where fare is calculated by distance.
