interesting write up and observations about subway signage and the travails of mass transit on the paris metro, the tube, and the nyc subway.

…The New York subway system, as you might guess, is the most chaotic as well as the most complex…It’s sort of like the English language, where the exceptions seem to outnumber the rules. When I moved back there three years ago, it took me months of frustration before I remembered what I’d forgotten: that New Yorkers take great pride and perverse delight in mastering the intricacies of their subways… The lines have all been numbered or lettered, and color-coded, for more than thirty years, but you still hear people referring blithely to the “East Side IRT” or the “Lexington Avenue Local.”

ciao ciao for now now
