REMARKABLE public transit system — Tokyo's transit map with 882 stations and 16 billion riders each year, which is 1.5X the ridership of every public transit system in the United States combined. And these were the numbers a few years ago (HT @straphanger) so it’s probably higher now.

@BrentToderian @straphanger I recently watched a YouTube about the guy who invented this style of map for and London Underground and then everyone copied it.
The design was even rejected at first.
He kept doing that map for free and didn't get paid.
