December 19, 2007 - Check out this "metro map of the world", based on London's Tube/Subway system. Very neat eh? The map contains the names of all the cities in the world that have urban rail systems, including subways, LRTs and heavy rail.
The map is designed by Mark Ovenden, author of the book Transit Maps of the World, which features (you guessed it!) transit maps of a number of large cities in the world (my copy should be arriving any day now). The map here is part of the an e-card that served as promotional material for the book and is not for sale - though I wonder how difficult it would be to print this out as a map.
Not that it has to do with anything, but the guy is also gay. In this interview, he explained why many gay men are fascinated by subways:
"I would have though the sight of great pounding machines thrusting into deep passages would be just the kind of thing that would appeal (to gay men)."
errr, okay sure :)
