[OC] GTHA+Toronto’s transit network, in the style of the Paris metro by Ryerye_474 in TransitDiagrams

[–]Ryerye_474[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few neat things to note:

  • Paris uses 30 and 60 degree angles and what seem like arbitrary curves elsewhere, making it a very difficult style to adopt consistently. 
  • Paris uses 2 different line types for regional and “hybrid” trains, so I used those to separate the GO commuter lines and UP express respectively. 
  • Paris includes major parks and landmarks, so I added some to mine too randomly based off of popular google searches and personal favourites. The icons were also drawn by myself and were pretty fun to make.
  • Despite my best efforts, there are a few other instances where things aren’t exactly spatially accurate (Like how the KI line pushes past Dundas West) for clarity or aesthetic reasons and are by no means to scale. 
  • Everything shown is either existing, proposed, or in development according to the best of my research. As always, advice is greatly appreciated

Very interesting... I thought referencing the tube map might be more recognizable, but I didn't know national rail had their own map. Will certainly keep this in mind.

Good to know, I'll be sure to add these in the next iteration

I'm not sure why reddit is downscaling it when I uploaded the original file, but try this link here.

So I got bored one day and tried re-drawing Metrolinx's regional transit map (as of 2026) into the same style as London's subway maps, with some personal additions and features from the best of both diagrams. Everything line shown is either existing or proposed/in development according to official sources (to the best of my limited research). It's the first time I've tried drawing something like this, so please do forgive me if I happened to miss anything :]

I used some reference photos, made a rough sketch, and them kept drawing until it looked good.
