“#MTA testing controversial subway map makeover at Brooklyn station<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The MTA\u2019s subway map may be getting a new look.<\/p>\n

Transit officials are quietly testing out five new maps in a display at 86th Street station in Brooklyn \u2014 including a subway diagram based off a controversial minimalist design from the 1970s.<\/p>\n

Also on display at three separate locations in the Bay Ridge station is a map that combines the subway and \u201cSelect Bus\u201d routes, two different maps of the local neighborhood and a station blueprint for disabled straphangers.<\/p>\n

Next to the maps is a code riders can scan to provide feedback via the MTA website.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking with fresh eyes at what a modern transit map should be and this is one piece of a pilot program that has that broader goal in mind,\u201d MTA spokesman Andrei Berman said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now, it remains a work in progress, but we\u2019ll be soliciting customer feedback and incorporating it into future versions of the map.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the maps on display is a riff on the MTA\u2019s official subway map from 1972 to 1979, which was created by Italian designer Massimo Vignelli but replaced amid an outcry over its lack of resemblance to the city\u2019s actual geography.<\/p>\n

The map has nevertheless become a cult favorite among transit nerds and fans of graphic design.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Vignelli \u2014 who died in 2014 \u2014 updated the design for the MTA\u2019s weekender phone app<\/a>, and that version is one of the options on display at the transit hub.<\/p>\n

Student Andrew Kwan told The Post on Wednesday he preferred the map\u2019s \u201cminimalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s much more clear than other subway maps,\u201d Kwan, 18, said as he passed through 86th Street station.<\/p>\n

But the map earned mostly lukewarm reactions from other straphangers.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s colorful, but it looks too minimalistic,\u201d rider Camilla Bettig said of the multi-colored subway diagram. \u201cIt should look more like a city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish the font was bigger. I think this is also confusing,\u201d rider Ivy Lau said, pointing to the white space on the map.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old one was more distinct and clear with the boroughs.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
