Topological Map

A topological map represents a city's transportation system emphasizing the relative positions and connections of routes rather than exact distances or scales. It simplifies complex networks to highlight how stations or stops are linked, making it easier to understand transfer points and routes. Think of it like a schematic diagram: proximity indicates connectivity, not geography. This approach helps travelers navigate efficiently without getting distracted by precise distances or geographic details, focusing instead on how to move through the system effectively.
