A small but meaningful update to Vienna’s rapid transit network: today the new U2 station “Lina-Loos-Platz” officially opened.

To mark the occasion, I’ve updated my geographical Vienna U-Bahn map, inspired by the classic Paris Metro map designs. The new version includes the added station, refined labeling and network logic, and lines under construction as well as future lines.

Exploratory data analysis is usually where the first real insight appears, and I’ve been looking for ways to make that moment clearer and more immediate.

One experiment I’m trying is a hover-based UI: move your cursor over a column and a compact histogram appears. It gives you an instant feel for the distribution without interrupting your flow.

i know everyone is trying their best, but this diagram really feels like a crime against information design.

1) very difficult to follow visually
2) white text with black stroke - very difficult to read
3) mystery numbers in white
4) mystery percentages in red
5) overall visual impression is of overwhelming complexity
