Boston in Transit - The Book
Figure 6.53 - BERy System Route Map Number 1, 1936
A key (bottom right) explains the syntax of the map: rapid transit lines are thick, solid blue lines; the Tremont Street Subway is a series of narrow blue lines with white ticks; rapid transit and subway stations are paper-colored circles; and rapid transit terminal stations are differentiated from intermediate stations by their having an “X” inside the circle representing each. Examples of terminal stations marked by the X include those at Everett, Harvard Square, Forest Hills, and Ashmont. Each of the four rapid transit lines are assigned a number, from one through four. The key directs the reader to “Follow Terminal Numbers For Any Route.” The thick blue line of the Cambridge-Dorchester rapid transit line, with its accompanying number “1s,” can be followed across the map. Throughout the map, “Surface Lines” (streetcar, bus, and trackless trolley lines) are represented with red lines. Routes numbered five through 121 are assigned to each of the surface lines. The number of each route is printed in white inside of the terminal flags for that route. The terminal flags denote the end points of each route. An inset map (bottom left) represents downtown Boston at twice the scale of the larger map. Above both maps (top) is an index to public buildings that can be located on the map by a number and letter coordinate system.
