Le Untrod Map
Voila, Montreal is the latest in a long string of cities to get its own 'remixed' transit map. Thanks to everyone who contributed anagrams!








Here's the original for easier comparison. There's a larger version available on my blog.


Edit: Here's another one someone else made.

Edit 2: And another! (jay suggested some of the ones I used, so there are a few identical stations). And here's one more.

Edit 3: Boing Boing has blogged the map.

Edit 4: This was published in the Letters section of The Mirror this week.

How, exactly, did you make it through the big LJ underscore purge?

You weren't required to change your username, or something?

A la the new rules: "Underscores cannot be at the beginning or the end of the username... Underscores will be replaced with hyphens (-) in your journal's URL."

Old LJs were supposed to conform to this standard as well (for *security*). Even mine, which has but one lonely underscore in the middle gets a redirect now to 'the-deli' instead of 'the_deli'. Minutiae, I know. Your name is just an outstanding example of underscoredom in undescorelss times. Hm.

Well, congrats on the rebellion. It looks like they've changed the format somewhat but I believe this still applies to you: http://news.livejournal.com/90556.html?thread=29987004
(esp. see third bullet down). You get to rename if you want!

Mm-hm.
I cried my eyes out and they gave me a rename token, though I don't automatically qualify.
