Design nerds and amateur cartographers alike are rejoicing over the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA)s new updated map of the subway system in New York City. It is said to be a replica of the 1972 Unimark map that left an impression despite its mere five-year tenure. The new map debuts the same year as the planned phasing out of the iconic yellow MetroCards that have been around since 1993. The MTA is currently about $48 billion in debt.Its chairman, Janno Lieber, told the New York Times, "This is a linchpin moment, like in 1979, when we started to fix the subway system."
