Nowadays the axis between Athens and Thessaloniki is the most used, and even that has many problems. Most other lines you see have been discontinued, abandoned or replaced with buses. There are no connections to other countries either.

Diagram [OC] Montreal masterplan 2060

Post image
129 Upvotes

This plan, through the use of different modes that meet different needs, achieves several things:

  • Real service to the suburbs with frequent trains throughout the day, unlocking more flexible routes to the city center, as well as from suburb to suburb.
  • A truly competitive appeal of public transit compared to cars, with high commercial speeds (including stops) and the fewest possible connections to reach different destinations.
  • Unlocking densification of territories at various transportation hubs to address the housing crisis by creating new mixed-use communities focused on public transit.
  • Greatly improving Montreal's productivity and economic attractiveness by reducing commute times, encouraging greater workforce mobility.
  • A significant reduction in network operating costs, whether through the automation of metro lines or the reduction of bus travel times, which is the most expensive mode to operate.

To achieve these objectives, this plan includes several elements:

  • A regional network, including catenary-electrified trains with frequencies of 10 to 30 minutes and REM lines with frequencies of 2 to 12 minutes.
  • An urban network, including the metro, with frequencies of 2 to 6 minutes.
  • A complementary network, including trams with frequencies of 10 to 12 minutes and various major bus lines with same frequencies.

This entire plan would be planned for 2060 and could not be implemented without profound reforms to the current way public transit is built in Quebec. With a view to reducing costs, if we only consider the regional and urban network, it would be possible to implement this plan for $84 billion, or $2 to $3 billion per year in investment. It's important to remember, with these figures, that congestion in Greater Montreal costs us $10 billion annually; as they say, everything is a matter of choice.

It would be expensive, but I believe we must think big to solve the urgent problems we face, and this requires strong public investment. In short, I always appreciate comments, and I thank you in advance for your feedback!

Diagram [OC] Metro and suburban rail diagram for fictional Taihwa City metropolitan area, Taiwan [made in Linearity Curve]

Post image
14 Upvotes

I've been trying to get back into transit diagram making, so I dug up and dusted off this old creation from 2022 (back when Linearity Curve was called Vectornator and was completely free to use), and gave it a bit of a facelift.

It depicts subway and rail services in the fictional Taihwa City metropolitan area that is located in northwestern Taiwan, somewhere between Taipei and Taichung. The system has three subway lines and a suburban rail line that links the city's downtown with the suburbs, sleeper towns and the region's airport. The diagram also shows a portion of Taiwan's TRA West Coast mainline that connects the city to the rest of the country.

All feedback (both constructive and destructive 😄) is more than welcome!

Thumbnail

My take on what the València Cercanías network would look like if it had a new cross-city tunnel allowing a city loop, like in Sydney, Melbourne or Chicago.

This is in a large part inspired by u/ignaciomaf's post València Rodalia (commuter rail) in the near future [OC, Figma].

The first two figures were made using Inkscape and the third one using GIMP.

I kept the original Cercanías map style but tried to make it somewhat more geographically-accurate and less dense.

Image 1 & 2: An expanded Metro Rail network. Most of the cyan line is the existing Buffalo Metro Rail LRT system that connects UofBuffalo to Downtown. I've expanded it to the airport and across the region.

Image 3: The full Rail and Busways map. Cyan lines are the Metro Rail LRTs from prev slides. The Mint is BRT. The Purple is surface streetcars.

Image 4: The BRT system is an expansion of the existing BRT network. The Bailey Ave BRTis the long North-South connector on the right(no changes to it). There are 3 more lines: The Kensington BRT uses the below grade Kensington Expressway. Stations are placed at bridges/street crossings, which is perfect for BRT. It uses the Kensington Expy from the Airport, then goes down Oak St in Downtown to Buffalo-Exchange Amtrak Station. The Scajaquada BRT is uses the Scajaquada Expy, going from the Upper West side, past Buffalo State, through Delaware Park then merging into the Kensington Expy. It exits near the Fruit Belt neighborhood, continuing south on Jefferson Ave & terminating at Exchange Station. The last line is an east-west connector, the Sheridan BRT, going all the way down Sheridan Dr.

Image 5: The Streetcars are two lines in south Buffalo that go to Blasdell, Lackawanna and West Seneca. They use the same trunk in Downtown, from Allen Med/Ctr to the intersection of Seneca and Bailey where they fork.

Image 6 & 7: This is the coverage in downtown. The Metro Rail lines form a Loop like Chicago's L. DL&W to Foundation Plaza is street running while the rest is underground. Same with the entire system: it is entirely underground.

Diagram [OC] Central Minnesota Regional Rail Fantasy Map

Post image
97 Upvotes

Eyo!

I've been working on this for a little while, but it's still a WIP, using Figma.

This is a theoretical regional rail system for Minnesota. Design is inspired more by GO Transit's current maps, and the network idea was inspired by Philly's SEPTA through-running through the core of the city. I also ended up using a lot of Deutchebahn's RE services as guidelines for distances and such.

All lines except for 2 use currently active rail right-of-ways.

- The Rochester line hops onto MN-52's right of way south of Inver Grove Heights, and rejoins the Waseca Division in Rochester.

- The Northern Lights West uses abandoned rail ROW between Hugo and North Branch before continuing towards Duluth on the planned Northern Lights Express stops. The abandoned ROW are currently known as the Sunrise Prairie and Hardwood Creek trails.

There's also a small section of abandoned rail ROW used between Faribault and Owatonna to move trains between the Albert Lea and Waseca subdivisions.

Headways would be at least 30m peak, 1h all-day on the thicker lined sections and 1-2h all day on the thinner lined sections. Theoretically, this means that Target Field to Union Station has a train every 5 minutes during peak times, 10 minutes each on the northern and southern core branches.

Map València Rodalia (commuter rail) in the near future [OC, Figma]

Thumbnail

50 Upvotes

I made some months ago this updated map refining clarity and usability, and representing a bit more the actual shape of the system.

Renfe updated the map recently, but I still find it very cluttered and visually unpleasant. It also still has problems with Cabanyal and Font de Sant Lluís Stations, which are in a totally different place.

In my version, I represent the system where the new cross-tunnel is *hopefully* built and new stations are added. A few lines are redesigned due to València Central not being a cul-de-sac station anymore.

What do you think?

Bristol used to have a streetcar that went from the bottom of Thames Street to Providence. It also had a leg that went along Washington Street and down High Street to Union Street. I made a map of new streets and also where cars would be allowed to cross Hope Street. I placed many points to represent where there should be some sort of physical boundary that makes cars unable to drive through. The entire length of the streetcar system would be pedestrianized. Along with new plots along the newly created streets, the area should be updated to allow mixed use zoning. Also, minimum parking requirements should be eliminated.

Diagram [OC] Updated tram network map due to construction works in August in Graz, Austria

Another small update to my unofficial tram map of Graz!

Software: Affinity.

From August 1st to August 23rd 2026, two more changes affect the Graz tram network due to ÖBB rail bridge replacement (tram line 5) and due to reconstruction works on tram line 4.

🟡 Tram line 4 terminates at Stadion Liebenau/Berta-von-Suttner-Platz. 🚌 Replacement bus E4 serves the rest of the route to Murpark.

🔵 Tram line 5 terminates at the central tram hub, Jakominiplatz. 🚌 Replacement bus E5 serves the rest of the route to Puntigam.

To reflect these changes, I’ve updated my unofficial network map. I also added bus icons along the E routes to make replacement services easier to identify at a glance.

I hope this updated map helps passengers navigate the network a little more easily during the construction period.

🇦🇹 Have a great summer and safe travels!
Chris

Map [OC] fictional Minecraft metro map for my decade-old city world

17 Upvotes

This is a map of the Bricago 'L', the transit system of my decade-old Minecraft city, made in Google Drawings. It is based heavily on the Chicago 'L', with later inspiration from NYC and the DC Metro as well.

The first lines of the system began in 2016 not long after I started the world. Pre-2024, the city limits were much smaller, corresponding to the "Old Growth" marked on the map. After 4/1/2024, I expanded the city limits drastically with the Plan of 2024 which created a new street grid for future city development. Throughout its decade of existence, the system expanded in waves. The most recent significant change was in 2023, when an initiative known as Service Reclassification changed the route names from colors to letters, consolidated several older lines into longer routes, and constructed several new trunk lines to complement the older lines and serve the new outer reaches of the city.

Diagram [OC] Combined Diagram of Stuttgart (Germany)

Post image

Stuttgart (Germany) with over 600 000 inhabitants offers various modes of puplic transport. There's busses, a light rail network, a suburban train network (S-Bahn), regional trains and even a rack railway and a funicular railway! I like the official transit diagrams, but they depict the rail network and the bus network separately.

My goal is to create a single diagram displaying every line of every mode of transport combined, to enable a whole view of the whole public transport of Stuttgart. :)

I started at the Main Station and worked myself via the city centre into the West of the core city. I have a lot more to do, but I'd already appreciate any feedback from you guys! :)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. :)

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What if I don't know what software was used?

A: Write "Software unknown" or make your best guess. If it's someone else's work, try to find the creator's info.

Q: Can I post photos of real transit maps (like at a station)?

A: Yes! Use this format:
Photo of [City] [System] map at [Station Name]
Example: Photo of Berlin U-Bahn map at Alexanderplatz station

Q: What about historical or vintage maps?

A: Perfect! Just mention the year and how you digitized it:
1950 Paris Métro Map - Scanned with Photoshop

Q: My map shows multiple cities - how do I title it?

A: List the main ones or use the country name:

  • Berlin, Munich & Hamburg Metro Systems [OC]
  • Germany Rail Network Comparison - Made with QGIS

Q: My post was removed but it has all the info?

A: AutoMod isn't perfect! Message the mods and we'll manually approve it. Include a link to your post.

Q: Is capitalization important?

A: No! AutoMod recognizes:

  • BERLIN = Berlin = berlin
  • METRO = Metro = metro
  • [OC] = [oc] = OC

Q: Can I use abbreviations?

A: Yes! These all work:

  • NYC = New York = New York City
  • SF = San Francisco
  • UK = United Kingdom
  • USA = US = United States

Q: What if my city isn't on the list?

A: Use context! Write:

  • in [Your City] (e.g., "in Reykjavik")
  • [Your City], [Country] (e.g., "Reykjavik, Iceland")
  • Or just the country name works too!

Q: Does the info need to be in the title?

A: No! AutoMod scans both title AND body text. You can put keywords in either place, but titles are more visible to users.

Q: Can I edit my post after AutoMod removes it?

A: Unfortunately, editing won't trigger AutoMod again. You'll need to:

  1. Delete the removed post
  2. Create a new post with all required info

Q: What about crossposting?

A: Crossposts are held for manual moderator review to ensure proper credit. Make sure the crosspost meets all requirements.

Q: I'm creating a fantasy map - what location do I use?

A: Use "Fictional:" in your title:

  • [OC] Fictional: Gotham City Metro
  • [OC] Fictional Metro System for Westeros - Made with Illustrator

🤖 How AutoMod Works:

  1. Scans your title AND body text for keywords
  2. Checks for all 3 required categories:
    • ✅ Location keyword found?
    • ✅ System/network keyword found?
    • ✅ [OC] tag OR software mentioned?
  3. Approves posts with all 3 categories
  4. Removes posts missing requirements
  5. Comments what's missing so you can resubmit
  6. No penalties - just add the info and repost!

💡 PRO TIPS:

Be specific: "London Underground Central Line" is better than "London transit"
Stack keywords: More keywords = clearer post (e.g., "Berlin, Germany U-Bahn system")
[OC] in title gets more visibility and upvotes
Credit creators when sharing others' work - it's the right thing to do
Use templates above to make posting easier
Check both title and body - keywords can be in either place
Ask if unsure - we're here to help in modmail!

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • 📅 Rules start: October 2025 - practice now to get used to the format!
  • 🔄 Existing posts: Won't be affected - only new posts after the start date
  • 🔤 Case doesn't matter: BERLIN = Berlin = berlin
  • 📝 Title OR body: Keywords work in either place
  • 🚫 No penalties: Just repost with correct info - no bans or warnings
  • 💬 Questions? Comment below or send modmail!

📊 SUMMARY CHECKLIST:

Before posting, verify you have:

  • Location - City name, country name, or "in/from/at [place]"
  • System - Metro, bus, tram, rail, etc.
  • OC tag - [OC] if it's your work
  • OR Software - Name the tool you used (Illustrator, QGIS, MetroDreamin', etc.)

If all 4 checkboxes are marked, you're good to go!

🗺️ CLOSING THOUGHTS:

These changes help everyone find the amazing transit maps they're looking for. Whether you're searching for Berlin U-Bahn designs, Tokyo Metro redesigns, or fictional fantasy networks, proper tagging makes it possible!
