Robot Johnny’s TTC Anagram Map

It’s already been covered on BoingBoing, but I thought a Toronto-based blog like this one should mention John “Robot Johnny” Martz’s map of Toronto’s subway system with the station names replaced by anagrams of said names. It was inspired by a similar map made of the London Underground (whose creators have received a cease-and-desist notice from the don’t-know-fandom-when-they-see-it Underground’s lawyers).

  • I did anagrams for all the stations on Boston's Orange Line, but they're pretty much terrible (Roxbury Crossing / SOX RUN CYBORG, SIR). I'm sure someone more able will step up.

  • Since seeing this, I have started work on transforming Chicago's station names.

    This will take a couple days.

  • Beginning from the West End; Anagrams for The Bloor Danforth Line where possible:

    Pig Link
    Long Sit In
    Yo Roy,Lark
    Ill Mold
    Jean
    Need My Run
    Keele (not possible to transform)
    High Park (not possible to transform)
    Sad Dun Stew
    And We Lose
    Fire Fund
    Sting Soon
    Rich Ties
    Trash Tub
    Sad Pain
    Get Ogres
    Bay (not possible)
    Ye Nog
    Rub Her Nose
