      Most urban rail systems utilize diagrams to help 
      customers navigate their lines, and great geographic distortion is common.  
      This older Metro Rail map may take the prize for challenging 
      reality.  It shows the downtown portion of the Red Line subway as 
		being grossly 
      expanded when compared with, for example, the Green Line light rail which 
      extends about twenty miles from Redondo Beach to Norwalk.   
		 
		Much has changed since the time of this photo.  What was once the 
		Red Line subway with two branches is now identified with different colors, Red and 
		Purple.  The Gold Line light rail from East L.A. 
		out to Pasadena is now part of the rail scheme.  And rail maps show 
		three "Transitway" bus routes. |
