You recognized it? Really? Hmm...*puts on suspicious look*
Did you see the Paris map? Makes you wonder how Parisians find their way around.
But standard issue subway maps are more fascinating, I think, at least from an infographics and aesthetical point of view, although these are pretty cool too. Seeing them out of context, you'd never guess they are subway grids. Someone should print them out and sell them as a trivial pursuit kit for seasoned travellers, or for the immensely bored.

Hey,
right back at ya.
I'm just surprised because these are so different from the maps you normally see. Those I might be able to recognize, but these are more difficult, except for the obvious ones, like New York, Moscow, and Paris. And I'm a pretty smart guy.
But no worries, I have prepared a simple blindtest...will be right over.
