Default Credit card sized tube map...

Yes, you can get maps for free from LT, but they're not credit card
sized.


The Z-card maps available *free* from stations in The City sound a lot
better than what you are proposing.

I've got an idea for how you could make a credit-card sized map that
would blow people's socks off. Production costs would be dearer than
what you are proposing, though.


Personally I'd rather not have both an expensive map that I couldn't read
*and* cold feet.

Seriously, why this obsession with credit-card sized maps? It's a linear
reduction by a factor of 2.5 on the pocket tube map, which means that the
letters of the station names will be only about 0.4 mm high, or in printing
parlance about 1.6-point. What's the use of that?
