Also from DC here. Aside from excluding freeways, there’s also the issue of excluding popular vehicle-free zones like the Capitol Grounds, National Mall and Pennsylvania Avenue/E Street in front of the White House. These invisible zones result in de-emphasizing the Pennsylvania Avenue cycletrack and East Capitol Street bike lanes, which in my experience are extremely popular with bikeshare users.

I think I even prefer the web-safe version. Quite often I tend to confuse the Metropolitan line and the Hammersmith and City because of both being two shades of pink. This makes it much clearer.

Yes, you are not the first person to express surprise over the Metropolitan line colour, in particular. I’ve double-checked the PDF and it is indeed listed like that.

Quite remarkable the difference between the true and web safe colours in the Metropolitan Line. Strange how there’s not a more similar colour to the original magenta, than that shade of purple. Also, the difference between th DLR, Victoria, Waterloo and City and Piccadilly lines becomes much dimmer in the web safe version.

Another problem with DC (sorry, it seems like we’re all from there) is the de-emphasis on Columbia Road between 14th Street and 18th Street NW. Instead, there are a number of little northward jogs that I suspect were instead trips on Columbia.
