Transit maps in real life

When looking for a place in London, we were trying to determine which neighborhoods were near the Tube. If you look at the London Tube map, you actually may get no idea at all about where the Tube actually goes. The Tube map looks as if the entirety of London is crisscrossed by these underground trains. In fact, most of the lines may be found only north of the Thames, and the lines are much denser on the west side.

These animations neatly show the differences between transit maps and their overlays to the real map.
