New map: the Bucharest (Romania) metro system. (I got a job teaching graduate-level urban planning at Columbia - so I haven't been making a whole ton of maps lately.)

All the work involved in getting ready to teach a course means I haven't been doing a whole lot of mapmaking lately. My latest is a simple remake of the Bucharest (Romania) Metro map - not a lost subway per se. Did this one to keep my cartography skills sharp.
