Questions? Answers.

Which cities work?

Ten for now, subway and metro lines only: Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, Montréal, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. The lines come from each transit system's published timetable data (GTFS), and London's from OpenStreetMap. We draw our own map: it won't copy the official diagram or the transit company's logos.

Why one line, in terracotta?

Our printers hold four colours at once: up to three for the map and one for the line, on all four palettes here: Postcard, Midnight, Porcelain and Graphite. On Postcard, the streets print in the ground's colour to make room.

A line is missing or looks wrong

We update the lines by hand from each city's transit data. Tell us in the checkout notes and we'll check it before printing.
