I found the design and effort by Work&Co on the NYC MTA digital mapping project really interesting. You can watch the short 8 minute video here: https://work.co/clients/mta/
I believe transit mapping really presents an opportunity for some of the best informational design principles out there. It’s an interesting challenge with getting all that data and context but drawing lines at when is enough, enough and when you need more information.
My short play with the new interactive map here: https://map.mta.info/#@40.7502983,-73.9539412,11.2z has been enjoyable and leaves me wanting more for the city I live in (Hamburg, Germany)
