Fantasy NYC Subway Map (Revision 8)

Description

I dunno, I thought I'd bring some of my little art projects in the meantime before the upcoming month of both school and Super Mario Land Oddities' sixth season.

The NYC Subway map drawing (made by Michael Calcagno of nycsubway.org) of the actual subway service was changed up by me, featuring service changes and extended lines.

This is Revision 8 (July 2012) of my little fantasy map of the NYC Subway. so there will be newer revisions made that make changes to this current revision.

EDIT: I'm aware that I'm starting with "Revision 8" instead of "Revision 1". The reason for that is because I've actually had created these revisions, however, I am unable to find them due to them being accidently deleted (except Revision 7, which I used to make this revision) and the revisions were fairly minor that I figure to blend all 8 revision changes here. That's for people who were curious why I started to Revision 8.

Just note that this cannot possibly happen in real life, as this would result in major overhauls and complete shutdown of lines (or even the whole subway) for this map to even occur. Just put "suspension of disbelief" in this case".
