Can you find NYC in this poster of the world’s subway systems?

Not surprisingly based on what lives there, it turns out that all the subway systems in the world look a lot like a group of nefarious single-celled organisms when presented together. Maybe that’s what’s causing all those sick passengers

Artist and urban planner Neil Freeman made line drawings of all of the world’s “high-capacity, grade-separated heavy rail” systems for a 29 by 23-inch black-and-white poster that will set you back a mere $20.

Not only will the poster make a great NYC-themed holiday gift for someone on your list, but it also functions as an incredibly difficult game of “Where’s Waldo’s Subway Stop?” It took us a solid five minutes to identify the New York subway, but see if you can do any better. 

Hint: The transit networks are organized from largest and most complicated to the simplest. (You can find the answer here.)
