Here is a great idea for a city – A walking Metro map. I can see this really working in cities that are inherently walkable such as Wellington. Every time I go to Wellington I tend to walk to most of my meetings or between the various tourist sites. A walking Metro would be a great way to encourage walking and would give visitors a sense of how easy it is to get around the city on foot.

I like the simplicity of the map and how it gives times between ‘stops’ on the map. I can see the various lines being named after buildings they pass – The ‘Government Line’ to the Beehive and other buildings, the ‘Te Papa Line’ along the waterfront and the ‘University Line’ covering a route through the university.
