My understanding is New York’s metro map is an anomaly due to there historically being 3 unconnected and competing subways. Thus sometimes to get places you had to transfer and the relative locations and distances between stops was relevant.

Normal subway maps, in my experience from living in 2 cities with a subway (Toronto and Berlin), aren’t like this and derived from work by a guy named Harry Beck [1].
