The point of this map is to take the basic idea of the current MBTA tube map but make it represent boston more without making it too complicated to look at or without diluting any information. This means I will keep the same information on the map but at the same time highlight stops that lead to hubs like newbury street and cultural landmarks like fenway park. Another aspect of the current MBTA map that would make it easier for some people to read would be to mark time and/or distance on the map and also to make the map relative to certain areas of Boston. The map would also be fairly relative to north, south, east, and west so that someone going on the the train would know what direction they are going. The problem I am anticipating is cluttering. With all the information on the current map and plus the information I want to add the map will become too cluttered and it will become harder to read rather than easier. But, with all maps, comprimizes are made and some information is left out for the sake of legibility and I expect to do the same.
