transit map

Subway line chart

A transit map is a diagram showing the routes and stops of a public transportation system—subways, buses, or trains.

Transit maps typically sacrifice geographic accuracy for clarity, using simplified lines and evenly spaced stations to make connections easier to understand: The London Underground map pioneered this schematic style.
