The mass train map is your go-to guide for finding your way around the city’s busy transit network. Whether you’re a local commuter, a student, or just someone trying to get from A to B without a headache, this map gives you a clear, bird’s-eye view of how everything connects.
You can download the map below in a crisp, high-resolution format. We’ve designed it to be easy on the eyes—separating the main trunk lines from the smaller feeder routes so you aren’t squinting at a mess of tangled lines. Whether you’re planning your morning route or looking at the city layout for a project, this file makes it easy to see the big picture.

A Closer Look at the Layout
How the Lines Connect
The map follows a hub-and-spoke design, where everything flows in and out of the center. If you look at how the tracks are spread out, you can see how the system was built to connect our suburban neighborhoods to the busy downtown business district.
Understanding the Landscape
Unlike a standard road map, this one shows you what’s happening underground and above ground. Keep an eye out for solid lines—those are your sub-surface tunnels—while the dashed lines represent tracks running on elevated viaducts. Knowing this helps you understand why some stations are deep underground while others have you climbing stairs to reach the platform.
How People Use This Map
- For Students & Planners: If you’re studying urban design, this is a great tool for looking at where passenger traffic gets backed up and figuring out where new lines might make sense in the future.
- For History Buffs: It’s fascinating to see how the city grew. Historians love comparing these lines to old maps to see how neighborhoods exploded in size once the trains arrived.
- For Local Couriers: If you’re delivering goods on foot or by bike, this map is perfect for figuring out the best “last-mile” routes to keep your walking distance to a minimum.
Tips for Printing and Viewing
For the best results, use the high-quality vector PDF provided. If you’re planning on printing a big poster, set your software to 300 DPI to keep the lines sharp and the text readable.
- A4 Printing: If you need a copy to carry around, “Fit to Page” works best.
- Orientation: Since the map covers a wide area, it’s best viewed in landscape mode.
- Black & White: If you don’t have a color printer, use the high-contrast version of the file so you can still tell the lines apart.
Pro Tip from the Mapmaker
A quick warning: don’t rely on your compass! While most maps line up with North, this one is tilted slightly to make the main commuter corridor easier to read. It’s better to look for the waterfront terminal as your landmark instead of trying to align everything with “true north.”
