A county map drawn from bus timetables
Somebody in the hill villages has redrawn the whole county using nothing but the printed bus timetables: places sit as far apart as the ride takes, not as far as the road runs. The coast comes out twice as long as the atlas has it.
Distances are in minutes. Where no bus goes, there is no land.
Why it works
The valleys with one bus a day stretch out like taffy, and the market town shrinks to a dot.
- Printed on one sheet, folded in eight.
- Sunday services are drawn as dotted lines.
- The legend is longer than the map.

The author’s script reads a timetable as plain text: busmap --minutes routes.txt writes the outline.
