What better way to wind down from a long week thinking about cities and maps and transportation than by taking a quiz to show off your knowledge of cities and maps and transportation?
Christopher Ingraham has complied a quiz on the "subway/train/metro system maps of 10 cities" by stripping them of all identifying information and asking you to choose from multiple options to guess the city. The quiz mostly focuses on American cities, but a few foreign maps conclude the quiz.
The transit quiz follows up a quiz by Ingraham last week that used a similar format but with street grids.
For this record, this Planetizen editor did better on the transit maps, but got 100 percent of American cities correct in either mode.
