Since Sandy left town, we’ve been downloading MTA subway-recovery maps to feed WNYC’s Changing Trains map. Our Steve Melendez put them together in a time-lapse GIF. Click through to the full-size image.
Montreal Metro Board Game
Sent my way by Twitter user @andrewsalzberg, here’s another board game based on a transit system - this time, Montreal’s Metro! (Readers may remember this post about “The London Game”, a board game based on the London Underground.)
Looks like a pretty simple “race” game, but it captures the aesthetics of the actual map quite nicely.

Oh, Canada….. —A.P.
If you want to work midnight to eight, by yourself on a bus, and challenge somebody for a fare … versus sitting in a booth and calling someone if someone doesn’t pay a fare — it’s a very, very complicated issue
