Underground Maps Unravelled

First published by the author Max Roberts in 2012, this excellent survey of Underground map design deals primarily with the design of the London Underground map but also looks at some overseas examples, looking in detail at how successfully or otherwise the transport operators represent their systems in diagrammatic form. The result is an astonishing collection of maps for cities worldwide that challenge preconceptions about the nature of effective design. Whether you are a graphic designer, transport professional, or just a frustrated commuter, maps will never seem quite the same again.
