Navigating L.A.'s Future Subway System, as Seen in 'Her'

For a very brief moment in Her, as Theodore Twombly walks through an L.A. Metro station, viewers glimpse the map (here's a screenshot via Reddit in case you missed it) Angelenos of the future use to navigate the city.

As Alex Baca pointed out earlier this month, that map would have been pretty important for public transit-loving L.A. of 2020-something. It was created by current L.A. resident and designer Geoff McFetridge, who looked to Massimo Vignelli's 1972 New York City map for inspiration.
