It's #SuperBowlSunday! Many fans will arrive at the stadium today via #Atlanta's transit network. For #SuperbowlLII, #MARTA released a special edition of their map, much like the @MTA did for the 2014 #SuperBowl. Check out the two maps below and tell us who you’re rooting for!

This #NYTMcollection photo shows an #R44 car on the #StatenIslandRailway in 1977. If you look closely, you can see a commuter rail #LineMap designed by #JoanCharysyn on the #train.
See this #map up-close in our #NavigatingNY #exhibition in #Brooklyn: nytransitmuseum.org/exhibits.

Coming next week to Mini Metro: Creative Mode!
Take any existing map, then build it any way you want. Place stations anywhere, run as many locomotives and carriages as you want.
Design your dream map! Recreate your local metro! Make cool looping GIFs!
