Circular Metro and Tram map of Amsterdam
20 July 2018
This weekend, Amsterdam’s new North-South metro line will open. To celebrate the occasion, Straatkrant Z! offers a free copy of Eric Hammink’s beautiful circular Metro and Tram map of Amsterdam. Z! is a newspaper sold by homeless people.
Seven years ago, Hammink designed the first version of his map, modelled after the pattern of the city’s canals. At the time, there was talk about Amsterdam’s public transport company GVB adopting the map, but apparently they haven’t. A missed opportunity.
The map is also used in Hammink’s iPhone route planner app.
