Nope, looks like they never got around to it.

Only a big deal for newbs or those of us who try to teach newbs "how to fish" rather than just giving them their "How do I get to...?" fish.
Doesn't help to teach them about the City tab on the Map, if it's incorrect.

Oh, come on! At least the transit line maps should be current (even if others of us know other ways around it)!|

FWIW, I often use the Ouro portal or in some cases the PocketD portal to get around. The trains can run slow or be far from desired drop points, after all.
Well, the latest VidiotMaps In-Game Map Overlay does have the Green Line fixed on the city map. Just download it and never be annoyed by it again.

Well, I was gonna go with:
*cough* vidiotmaps.com *cough*...
**cough** map-pack (& the icon-pack while you're there) **cough**
Sorry, about that I have a cold. 
But uhm yeah, Blondie pretty much spelled it out with a picture instead.

Hmm I have VidiotMaps overlay already - but maybe an older version? I don't think I've updated it in a year or so. Is this a new version with the updated map?
And again, this isn't an issue *for me* as much as I'm worried for newbs (who won't have Vidiotmaps installed), and for whom I can't edumacate them about its usefulness in getting from zone to zone.
I just wish they would put the HIVE entrance to the SOUTH of Eden instead of going into Faultline and pretending that the entrance isn't supposed to be connected even though it obviously is >_>
I'd also like to see them update the graphics for the older zones' loading screens. The older ones just don't look as "nice" as the newer ones (Faultline, Ouro, etc)
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
Yeah, this was included with the Issue 15 update, so yours is most likely the previous version. I agree that it won't help most of the new players and that the art department should fix it, but they've probably not regarded it as a major enough issue needing fixing. It took them about seven months to add the missing islands on the Storm Palace map after I mentioned it, so it's just a matter of getting it in the queue and waiting for them to get to it.

I'm I crazy or does the ingame City map not show the correct connections for the Train lines?
Shows no Green line stop in Skyway or FF, for starters. There may be more artifacts. They re-vamped the tram stops ages ago, didn't they? But I guess they never updated the map?
