Its stunning how geographically incorrect that map is. I can't believe the MTA/NYCTA/whatever would ever approve such a map.

That’s a topic of a lot of discussion by transit planners. For example:

A subway map is only incidentally supposed to be geographically correct. It needs to be basically a graph diagram, ideally with distances weighted by travel time.
