What is a "London Underground-style map"?
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to make London Underground-style maps the industry standard for urban public transit, with a POD no earlier than 1929.
In case you actually mean the kind of map Thande has posted I got news for you: This already is industry standard!
that NYC one looks horrible complicated and hard to understand, but that might just be me.
Here is a comparison of the Tube map of the type Dan means

and what that area actually looks like in reality

That's not true. Look at this modern one of the New York subway system for comparison.
They don't use the Tube map system at all.

Those sorts of maps seemed to be the standard when I was traveling around Paris, but they're not used for the bus systems here. I think they have similar maps for the Bay Area Rapid Transit in San Francisco.
I thought it was the industry standard.
