Transit Maps of the World

On
August 4, 2006, I wrote about the subway map project

Danny Cohen and I have been working on for some years. Recently,
a new book was published for those who share our interest:

Transit Maps of the World – The World’s First Collection of
Every Urban Train Map on Earth

by Mark Ovenden, Penguin, 2007


ISBN-10: 0143112651,
ISBN-13: 978-0143112655

This fascinating new book “brings together for the first time in a single volume
the official current metro maps and diagrams from over 100 of
the world’s major Subway, U-Bahn, Metro and Underground systems.”

Below are some photos of Danny’s and my own map collection here in the
Sun Labs Menlo Park, CA, building.
Our most recent acquisition is a small card showing the Tokyo subway. Along
with our maps is a London Transport
Museum poster of Harry Beck’s original London underground map.
