Mapping Flint

Flint, the Vehicle City, birthplace of the General Motors Company and the United Auto Workers, a vanishing city propelled to the spotlight by one of the largest municipal public health crises in the 21st Century, the Flint Water Crisis

Flint Fictional Metro Transit Map

What if “Vehicle City” had a metro rail system? This is a long running topic for the Detroit metro area where I organize an annual “transit fantasy” meetup where people have created over a dozen fake mass transit systems over the years.

This transit fantasy map of Flint comes from Redditor, RikkaTheSecond:

I was bored and decided to make a Metro Map! I randomised all the cities in the US to decide what to do and it came up with the quaint town of Flint, Michigan, north of Detroit. This was probably the most design-focused map I’ve done in a while, as halfway through making it I really started loathing the design. I did my best to try and make it look good and overall I think I did a good job. Let me know what you think of it!
