'The beautiful Timemaps [timemaps.nl] by Vincent Meertens of Graph[s]ic shows the required travel times within The Netherlands by public transportation through morphing its silhouette along a colorful, circular time measure.
Users are able to select any train station location (by clicking inside the map), and time of day (via a slider). As a result, the map will expand at night, and shrink in the morning due to the availability of trains. The color coding corresponds to the number of hours (see legend below the map).' via infostethics
A very interesting way of showing train times and availability when I haven't seen anything else apart from the usual timetables. Not too sure how convenient it is, but the time map idea can be used in developing my final project later.
