This fascinating animated video charts which parts of London's Tube network are busiest at different times of day.
Will Gallia, 26, crunched data from 562,145 Underground journeys to produce the absorbing visualisation using figures released by Transport for London.
Each Underground user is represented by a small dot – coloured to indicate what line they’re on.
Mr Gallia, of Haggerston, has been working on the video on and off for three years. Now, to his surprise, he’s found its appeal goes beyond just computer programmers and graphic designers.
“It’s weird that it resonates with people,” he told the Standard. “Even the simplicity of the dots thing – people like the idea they’re represented by a small point.”
But Mr Gallia did not think too many of those dots present his own journeys. “I prefer to cycle,” he admitted. “But I love the map – that’s what it’s about. I think the Tube map’s brilliant.”
