NYC subway map designer

interesting article on the NYC subway map design. especially the history - how the public reacted to maps in the 70s causing them to change them. the complexity of the NYC subway would make this a hard problem to solve. i like his point that a map can't do everything - it is limited and needs to interact with signage etc.
