The MTA on Wednesday unveiled a new “easily readable” New York City subway map for the first time in nearly 50 years — but straphangers knocked the redesigned graphic as a “complicated” brain teaser and a “waste of money” by the embattled agency.

When these companies were consolidated in the 1960s, a new map was created using a “Beckian grid.” Named after Harry Beck, who standardized the London Underground map using 45- and 90-degree angles, the creation was then redesigned in 1972 by Vignelli—but not without controversy.

A lot has changed on the subway in the last 45 years, including stations, train cars, platforms, and even how we pay. But one thing that hadn't changed is the subway map. That is, until now.
