Where is the train map from? Is it a serious railway system proposal or... what? And why the Penguin Books logo?

It's a book cover. Specifically it's meant to mirror the layout of the London underground but laid over a world map, which obviously doesn't work because london and planet earth are not comparable systems.

Is it at all possible that it’s a book cover and not an actual transit map? Maybe it was designed to be illustrative about the book, and if said book is about the subway (or even mass transit) systems of the world then it has done a good job. Maybe the real idiotic thing is talking about it like it’s supposed to be of practical use in planning a trip. Just kidding, of course not, let’s have another three page derail about this poo poo.

Someone post a circle map, since we're on page 314. Also to avoid the book cover derail. Best I can think of is our shameful Copenhagen metro, which got it's circle line (red) just last year. The blue part opened very quietly in April or so.

OH gently caress YEAH WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT THE loving TRAIN BOOK COVER AGAIN! It's all the cities with rail-borne mass transit linked in a stylistic pattern meant to resemble a mass transit map, (which accounts for the under-representation of Africa) because it is a book of mass transit maps. It spawned a massive derail (lol) when first posted I don't know why we decided to bring it up again.

Third oldest subway in the world and still using the the same 15 stops and a whole two lines: clockwise, and anti-clockwise. I hear there might be ambitious plans in the works to get it finally running on Sundays past 6pm, though! Wow

Buy an all day ticket, start as soon as the bars open and have a pint (or a glass of beer and a shot of spirits) at the nearest pub to every subway station. Don't wear blue or green, or bring up soccer or you'll get your head kicked in by the shrinelike hooligans bars

The most direct railroads used to be called air lines because they supposedly took the same path a theoretical air route between two cities would take. Even before air travel existed the concept of air travel was in people's hearts.

I'm saying that cover is hilariously retrograde because we first had air lines traveling ON TOP OF the Earth, which we imagined were the most direct routes between two points, ignoring all topography, then we had actual airlines flying us on supposedly the most direct routes ABOVE the Earth, and now transit nerd morons want rail connections that are the actual most direct routes, the true air lines, BELOW the Earth. The next step is imagining transport THROUGH the Earth.

The fact that it’s a book cover and not in any way a genuine proposal for a global transit system does not make it any less funny or fun to poke holes in imo.
