Urban Planners or Spiders on Drugs?

My friend Nick recently pointed me in the direction of a beautiful work of information artistry: Subway Systems of the World, Presented on the Same Scale. It reminded me of that study of spiders on drugs and the various sorts of webs they weave from some years back.

If we use the latter as a key to the former, it appears that Moscow's and Madrid's metros were designed by a spider on benzadrine, while Chicago's was built by a spider on chloral hydrate.
