Is there a way to create realistic transit maps? I used https://beno.org.uk/metromapcreator/ but is there a better solution?

Any vector graphics editing software (Inkscape, Corel). These tend to be expensive though. Free alternatives like Inkscape aren’t good (unless you are very used to them), so don’t bother.

@blgmtn,
I used the https://beno.org.uk/metromapcreator website and made a national railway map of Rhododactylia.

I have used Inkscape. It’s not that hard to use if you have time to try different things with it. All the metro maps here are made with Inkscape. I had made almost nothing with Inkscape before those maps.

Also how did you put that logos and texts like ‘2 min’ or ‘M1’,or made that curves and stations?

I use Inkscape regularly for projects (like the AR120-17 State of Astrantia flag which is my avatar). It’s pretty good and extensive software, It has a serious learning curve, though.
Download from https://inkscape.org and be prepared for some learning. I think it’s worth it in the end.
Marcello.
