All the Bits Fit to Print
Access to detailed models of European metro stations is restricted.
An impressive project showcases detailed, mostly hand-drawn maps of complex metro stations worldwide, digitized to help users better navigate these spaces.
Why it matters: The maps enhance accessibility and understanding of complicated metro layouts, aiding travelers and those with reduced mobility.
The big picture: Created over a decade by a single person, the project reflects dedication and the value of manual cartography in the digital age.
Commenters say: Users are amazed by the scale and detail, appreciate the accessibility focus, and suggest adding missing stations and improving zoom speed.
