Correct answer: 2011. Congrats to DavidDoesLemmy for getting it! If anybody's curious about the unredacted map, I've posted it here.
I blurred out the issuance date for obvious reasons, but can anybody determine the approximate date from the map design and routes?
Found it in the info book for the hotel I'm currently staying at and thought it might make a good game!
Well it’s got the new design, so it’s not that old. But the 8 and 55 are still there so it predates that “merger”. Can’t recall when it happened, but pre-pandemic is my rough memory, so I’d guess 2015-2019.
The 8 and 55 are the routes that became the 58, right? That one started in 2017. The map is from before 2017
Yep. I’d forgotten when it happened. 2017 makes sense. I also don’t recall when this design happened … I’m thinking around 2015 or so.
Before 2015 too
Ok ... yea I don't recall exactly when, but I recall noticing it when it first came out. It's not that old though ... the design of the maps used to really bad at separating out different lines.
