Ediacara - Transportation Map

[Nathan]

While playing Cities in Motion 2 (an urban transportation game) I was having fun playing "Ediacara" a Workshop map for the game.
I decided to create a realistic transportation map for the game I was playing.

Here it is :

It's a map as it would be displayed in stations, tram and bus stops. In this case "Ithyan Costalyora", with the legend, line and stop informations.
The style is similar to european transportation maps.

The legend and line list are on the left with administrative logos.
Information (line map and time schedule) about the different lines serving the stop are displayed on the bottom under the main map.

The map was made on Illustrator exclusively.

This is great man... I would love to have these for my old Sim City's from back in the day. Is it just me, or does it seem like we map lovers also liked games like Sim CIty and Cities in Motion....

What is the new Sim City like game these days?

Indeed I do like a lot Cities in Motion but also Cities Skylines and the old but awesome Transport Tycoon (OpenTTD).

Thank you

Very nice and well done map! It kinda makes me think of some Norscand city maps, actually. You nailed the modern style transportation map, imho.

Wow. Never heard of Norscand before, quite impressive ! I see a lot of transportation map potential ;-)
