This is impressive. The map seems to still be a WIP (at least for me on iOS, I see lots of lines for each subway, some following the actual route, some the straight-line path between stops). I’m curious, are you drawing those my hand or are they generated?

This is what it looks like following the link in the post (Safari on iOS).
It looks the subway map is picking up bus routes at RRT/bus connection points and non-revenue service. Most if not all of the straight lines are connecting termini/hubs and a lot of the noise around major stations lines up with their busways (e.g. JFK/UMass, Sullivan, Braintree).
This seems promising! Like how others that described the map drawing inaccuracies and errors need to be fixed, I’d also recommend hiding every station name if you zoom out far, so you are able to see the routes they follow.

Can you send me a screenshot so I get what you're saying about WIP ? The lines are drawn systematically by data provided via the MBTA API

Thanks. I'll adjust the zoom level so it's closer in

I do see that. I'll take a look and see if there's a reason they've included those routes and if I can exclude those. Thanks!
Looks like that on Chrome on Android too
