This animated map is a graphical representation of the construction of the New York City subway system to what it is today:

Wow, that is amazing to be able to do all that with a city that dense. I hope other cities are taking note. While the map itself is amazing, I'd like to see a timeline on it as well so we can see what years the expansions took place.

I didnt know the first subways were out in Brooklyn! Its also interesting to see how most of the subway lines intitially were built outside of down and midtown manhatten...almost counterintuitive to how we plan for transit now. No wonder NYC is so shaped by transit.
