I love how Alikhan Beisenbayev turns simple subway maps into such simple and engaging snippets. The videos show how the geographical maps of subway lines turn into the well-known subway maps - 0/45/90 degree turns and even station spacing via Harry Beck.

While these look simple, it's actually quite a layered approach, starting in QGIS, then exporting to SVG, with some Figma magic, DaVinci, and Claude for final optimization. Great work!

Vienna metro geographic vs schematic

Schematic maps usually do not match the actual geography of the lines. So I made this visualization to show the difference.

Did you know that the first section of the U-Bahn system was opened in 1976, on line U4, between Heiligenstadt and Friedensbrücke.

Another fact is that the numerization ranges from U1 to U6, with U5 missing. The original plan did not justify constructing U5, as it would have been parallel to the S-Bahn line. Although in 2018, the government approved the construction of the U5 line, which starts in Karlsplatz and goes to Hernals.

The only Austrian U-bahn system sits at 49th place worldwide among all metro systems, with 83.9 km.

Next: Berlin, Prague, Budapest, or São Paulo?

@milos_gis Train movement for me is a stunning animation every time. As I started this series on LinkedIn first, I realised how powerful and engaging train data like this

Thursday on Spain’s railways, 24 September 2026. That’s 5,621 Renfe trains, from high-speed and long-distance to regional and Cercanías/Rodalies. Every train runs along the real track, taken from OpenStreetMap. Positions come from the published timetable.
