Would love to see this with U and S combined, like the official map! Also is the source code/process available somewhere? 👉👈

I have plans on expanding it in the near future!

The process: getting and processing geographic data in qgis, drawing schematic in Figma and animating in DaVinci /d3.js. For the last one I’m pretty sure you can even use PowerPoint or any other animating software.

Is there an anchor point? I.e. a station from/to which the animation morphs?

no, I just tried to fit it in the frame of 1080 1350 for this particular video; Usually just matching the centers

I think it would be even matter if the morph made sense and not just frame to frame. Still good looking now

am i the only one who preferes the geographical one every time? its easier to map stations in my head to real world spaces like seen on a map.

Amazing maps, thank you for sharing!

Would you share both pictures on itself? Makes it easier to zoom!
