"A Subway Named Mobius" by A. J. Deutsch. Astounding Science Fiction,
December 1950.

I remember this story. I was a high-school student at the time. I'd
never heard of Moebius and his famous strip till I read that story.
Furthermore, reading ASF introduced me to the Klein bottle, to the
tesseract, and to M.I.T. To paraphrse what Rick James said about
cocaine, "ASF was a hell of a mag."
