subway map

Underground route chart

A subway map is a diagram showing the routes and stations of an underground rail system.

These maps typically sacrifice geographic accuracy for clarity, using simplified lines and evenly spaced stops to help riders navigate the network: I couldn't find the station without a subway map.

The iconic style, pioneered by London's Tube map, has influenced transit graphics worldwide.
