Very cool. That assumes that the green line isn't infinitely delayed somewhere.

This is a good idea. I assume it is based on the fastest rush hour schedule. Most commuters couldn't care less what the distance is, just how long it takes. I have been working on one for Chicago. But if someone beats me to it, I won't complain.

"Designer proposes T map based on trip time"-photo0009.jpgHere is my latest attempt so far at plotting Chicago Metra system based on fastest schedule. Compare it to the system map and it doesn't quite line up.

PVande55, some topographical-style markers to mark distance would be helpful.

You mean place milepost numbers? Yes, it needs a bit of work.
