New York City Subway map : ウィキペディア英語版 | New York City Subway map
The New York City Subway map has undergone several complete revisions over the years, with intervening periods of comparative stability. Since the last significant revision of 1979, the official transit map of the New York City Subway has evolved gradually under the control of the Marketing and Corporate Communications Department of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The 1979 design was created by the MTA Subway Map Committee, chaired by John Tauranac, which outsourced the graphic design of the map to Michael Hertz Associates. ==History==
Original maps for the privately opened Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), which opened in 1904, showed subway routes as well as elevated routes. However, IRT maps did not show Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) routes; conversely, BMT maps didn't show IRT routes, even after the Dual Contracts between the IRT and BMT.〔 In fact, even in 1939, the year before the unification of the IRT, BMT, and Independent Subway System (IND) into one entity,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.mta.info/nyct/facts/ffhist.htm )〕 maps by private businesses were still being printed showing only the routes of one company.〔 The three subway companies also published their own maps, showing their own routes.〔(A History of New York City Subway Maps )〕 (Even in 1968, maps were published that neglected to show IRT routes.)〔 Routes were not distinguished from each other on subway maps until 1958.〔 The first route maps were aesthetically pleasing, but had the perception of being more geographically inaccurate than the diagrams today. The design of the subway map by Massimo Vignelli, published by the MTA between 1972 and 1979, has since become recognized in design circles as a modern classic; however, the MTA deemed the map flawed due to its placement of geographical elements. In 1985, with the subway's elimination of double-lettered routes, the map also drastically changed; routes on the maps became less straight and more circular, a design that persists today. "Trunk lines" were rearranged to be one color, rather than the multicolored routes shown on the former Vignelli maps.〔
