Comment on A flat map with the least error possible: The Gott-Goldberg-Vanderbei projectionparent

Comments

The NYC MTA map is pretty geographic by metro map standards. There are some obvious distortions, like Manhattan being wider than it actually is and it's not actually vertical as noted before. It also includes a lot of surface street and neighbourhood references. Most metro maps just focus on station names.

Compared with something like the London Tube map or Paris Metro map it's extremely geographic.
