Rochester Fantasy Map
Rochester, NY – a city of 210,000, has a long and complicated history with public transit. What was once home to a thriving streetcar and subway system, but ripped them up in favor of the automobile. Operating from 1927 to…

Subway is certaintly a bit misleading for this network. It certaintly has some elements of subway networks, like downtown tunneling, high level platforms and grade separations for most of the lines (plus naming consistency), but I suppose it would be…
