		Tauranac, a 66-year-old New Yorker with mussed gray-fl hair and gold-rimmed glasses, used to design maps for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, until he was, as he put it, “declared redundant” in 1987.
		Tauranac’s latest effort is also a potent reminder that one of the stormiest battles involving New York’s self-image involved neither development nor political leadership, but what would seem the most mundane of issues: the look of the city’s subway map.
		In contrast to the brilliance of the subway routes, aboveground New York was almost invisible: the outlines of the boroughs were stubby and squared-off; the parks were gray boxes; and the water was tan.

		New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority made a huge mistake when they installed the MetroCard turnstiles a few years ago, a mistake that adds to congestion, confusion and annoyance in the subway and should have been obvious during testing (and could probably still be corrected without huge expenditures):
		New Yorkers are focused on getting to their train, but the system unnecessarily forces them to consult this turnstile panel every time.

	The Patry Copyright Blog: Subway Maps and Copyright
		Under that approach, there is no need for the incentive of copyright for the transit authorities to publish the subway maps; they have to anyway, if not by law, by necessity.
		Unlike Section 105 of title 17, which bars protection for works of the United States government, there is no bar on state governments (or subdivisions or corporations owned by them) owning copyright, although states are free to ban protection: given states lack vigorous assertion of sovereign immunity, common decency would require them to disavow copyright.
		I wonder if this could be related to concerns about terrorists using subway maps on their iPods.
