Has it ever been proposed to map a map of a subway, metro, or underground?


take a look at the Paris Metro, for example...

Bonuses for holding a line,


maybe also bonuses for holding arrondissements




Just a thought...

Danoprey is currently making a map of the London undergound...

Paris would be cool. I really don't like metro maps though. In fact.. I don't really like them in city maps either.

Couple maps include "metros" NYC and Vancouver. Couple use the word "metro" (Cairns and Sydney) but don't actually use subway systems. Then the Rail series of maps of course use trains but they are overland, continental systems.

It'd be a good idea to use just a subway system, and natty has already mentioned the London subway (not the Underground, copyrighted...) system map in the draft room. Plenty of great cities have subway systems and could considerably make great maps. 2 things, 1 good, 1 bad: Most subway systems are going to have maps that you can draw inspiration from... such as this map of the SEPTA rail system that serves Greater Philadelphia:



Bad thing is that like the London Underground copyright, most names of subway systems are copyrighted, so in this case you could NOT use the name for the subway system of Philadelphia, SEPTA. (SouthEastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority)

How about the Helsinki metro. It has a whopping 17 stations, I think it'd make a great doodle-earth type map!
