Subway maps

The Londoinist have found another neat site. The world’s subway systems presented on the same scale.

As well as a disingenuous means of mocking the French for their capital’s pea-sized hairy testicle of a network, it’s also fun to treat the site as an underground Rorschach test. So what does Londonist see? Brussels is but a little ant, LA is some kind of elemental pagan symbol, Moscow is just plain scary, while Boston looks like a screaming man on fire. And Madrid, for some reason, makes us think of autopsy tables.

After seeing those I’m going to have a total different look on things when using the Metro in Paris and DC, the Tube in London and the Subway in NYC. I guess I’m not nerdy enough to have thought about this before.
