transportation map

Route network chart

A transportation map shows routes and connections for moving people or goods—subway lines, bus routes, highways, or shipping lanes.

These maps typically simplify geography to emphasize how to get from one point to another: The transportation map showed three different ways to reach the airport.

Transit maps like the London Tube diagram are iconic examples.
