The subway map is in a format that allows you to click on stations and find out information about the lines. The bus maps, because of their detail, are in PDF format, which allows you to adjust the magnification at the bottom of the screen.
Because of the large amount of detail, all (except for the Staten Island Railway map) are too large to print. You can pick up a free printed bus or subway map on your local bus or at your subway station. You may also obtain a map by calling Customer Assistance at (718) 330-3322, 9 AM to 5 PM, weekdays.
