Color ASCII Manhattan Subway Map

This is a color ASCII map of the Manhattan sections of the New York City Transit Authority's subway system.

You are advised not to try to view this map in a browser that does not support CSS, nor on a black-and-white monitor, as it will be very ugly.

You are advised to enlarge your browser's font to better view the details and colors of this map; however, keep the font small to see the big picture.

This page hasn't the approbation of the Metropolitan Transit Authority.


Legend:

A cross (+ or X or x) indicates a station where only local trains stop.
A circle (O or o) indicates a station where (local, if any, and) express trains stop.

*At Bkr/Lft stop the BDFV and downtown-bound 6.
  The uptown-bound 6 also stops there,
   but you can't change between it and the other trains.

 At W4 stop the ACEBDFV.

 You can "tansfer" free (out of the system) between the Lex station
  on the F and the Lex / 59 St station on the NRW456.
