music video for subway map lovers

I'm advised that I'd like this subway-map-themed R.E.M. video, though R.E.M. is not really my thing.

Actually, it's a nice test of whether you're more interested in transit graphics than in transit!

He runs way too much. Unless they have a really poor service there in REM-land, it'd be much simpler if he went in the wrong order, but changed trains at the various interchange stations along the way.

Stuff You Need to Know

Walking distance to transit
Why it's hard (but essential) to think about.
Branching: transit is like a river
Branching a line looks easy. Know what's being sacrificed.
Transit's great triangle
(1) Urban form. (2) Transit service. (3) Ridership. Why it's pointless to discuss two of them without the third.
The case for frequency mapping
Some transit is useful for a free and empowered life, but only if we can find it.
Benefits of transit
Transit by itself doesn't reduce congestion, but it does give us alternatives to it. Here are the other great things it does.
Network redesign: Why and how
It's like pruning a tree by committee. Tips on why, how, and process.
Illusions of travel time
The fastest service may not get you there soonest.
Want freedom? Love grids.
For transit that's both efficient and empowering, learn about transit grids (not just street grids).
Want to be a transit planner?
Paths into the profession.
"Be on the Way!"
How land use plans, and your own location choices, determine whether transit can work, for you and your city.
"Transferring" can be good!
Why networks that rely on connections or "transfers" can get you there faster than those that try to avoid them.
