Next year, the Metro map will feature a few newly altered station names. Navy Yard, for example, will become Navy Yard-Ballpark, while Waterfront will drop “SEU” from its station name.

But while the name-changing process only yielded slight changes, it could have been far worse. Whenever stuff like this is opened up to the public, the fear is that everyone will get their way. And when it comes to the iconic Metro map, maybe that’s too much for any of us to handle.

Flickr user thisisbossi recently posted an image of a nightmare-scenario Metro map in which every station name was renamed according to the whims of just about anyone with an opinion to share. His map, a huge version of which can be seen here, is both dizzying and hilarious in its complexity. It would be worth adopting if only to see the look of absolute confusion on the faces of visitors and commuters alike.

Then again, telling my parents to get off at the “Columbia Heights-Mt Pleasant/Adams Morgan-Park View/Pleasant Plains-Howard U/Bell-Tivoli Theatre” station to come visit me would be awful.
