Introducing a new metro map for Tashkent, Uzbekistan:

Tashkent Metro map

The fourth line is still under construction, its color is not finalized. We like gold.

Geography

There are streets, parks, landmarks, and airport connections on the map. The lines go straight through familiar parts of the city. It is easy to see where the exits of a particular station are:

The map miraculously combines geography and geometry. The city is warped so that the center is larger, the lines look simpler and are easier to follow, but the districts and intersections have not lost their distinctiveness:

There are five big markets in Tashkent. On the map, each is indicated by its own pictogram based on a recognizable architectural image or associations with the goods being sold:

Souvenir edition

There is also a dark souvenir edition:

It references national shapes and patterns and is nice to put up at home as decoration:

We invite the management of Tashkent Metro to discuss the adoption of our map.
