The MTA revealed a new subway map for the first time in nearly 50 years, intended to be more readable and modern. However, straphangers have expressed frustrations over its complexity, calling it a 'complicated brain teaser.' The bold design replaces the longstanding 1979 map but has drawn comparisons to an earlier 1972 version, which was similarly criticized for being difficult to understand. While MTA leadership believes the map enhances user experience, many commuters find it geographically confusing and an impediment to efficient subway navigation.
It's always funny that the MTA has been desperately trying to implement this exact map for like 50 years and nobody has ever liked it.
The new version is much easier to read while also reflecting all the enhancements we've made over the years.
Oh dear! That's much more complicated than it needed to be! Looking at the benefits of other metro/subway maps across the world would have been helpful.
The city looks distorted. This is not an improvement.
