New York’s subways have been the subject of debate, with politicians using them to paint the city as out of control and dangerous to residents and visitors.

When police examined surveillance footage, they found that the deceased man originally boarded the subway car around 8 p.m., lit a cigarette given to him by another passenger, and filled the car with smoke, compelling other passengers to leave the car. The man then died of unknown causes.

A lot has changed on the subway in the last 45 years, including stations, train cars, platforms, and even how we pay. But one thing that hadn't changed is the subway map. That is, until now.

The map echoes a short-lived 1972 map created by Massimo Vignelli. That version, designed as a service map, introduced straight lines and minimized information to only what customers needed to navigate the subway system. The modernist map became a cult-favorite among New Yorkers despite being taken out of service after just 7 years.
