New Tech Train Strip Maps… Stripped!

A few years ago, I took a picture of a strip map on a 6 train that just so happened to be missing its map.



I don't know why it took me so long to do this, but it probably had to do with a rekindled interest in these things in connection with the introduction of a train of R188 cars on the 7.

So what I've been doing is analyzing pictures of these strip maps found on R142 and R143 cars on other lines (they all use the same strip map model, so strip maps are interchangeable), and essentially virtually removed the strip map.

Today, I embarked on a journey tens of thousands of people make every year, all on the same day… and I live-tweeted it. Apparently, my attempt at making my tweets public didn't take, so I tweeted anyway. I started on the route at 14:34:24 when the S53 bus left Lily Pond & McClean Avenues on Staten Island.
