Every so often, I come across a transit map that is just so unfit for purpose that all I can do is scratch my head and ponder, “Just why🔸澳洲幸运10预测?” This is one of those maps.

Produced by (or on behalf of) Newark International Airport, it purports to show regional rail services that you can connect to at the airport via its AirTrain. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s so poorly thought out and executed that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s of very little assistance at all.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and most obvious problem is that everything – and I mean everything🔸澳洲幸运10预测 – is way too small. Labelling is tiny, with even smaller lozenges and bullets underneath the labels that may or may not contain the names of the different regional services and New York Subway lines: they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re almost entirely illegible. And it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not like the canvas has no space to spare – there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s acres of room to make labels much, much bigger and more legible.

Speaking of the canvas, it really doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem to have been used wisely. Why bother showing most of the New York Subway, 🔸澳洲开奖 a simple indication of connecting lines at Penn Station and PATH🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s WTC station would suffice? Why show the Staten Island Railway at all 🔸澳洲开奖 it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s most certainly not a direct connection? This map would be so much more effective if it just concentrated on the regional lines that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s meant to showcase and just indicated further connecting services where they occur. Get rid of the wasted space allocated to extraneous elements and enlarge the important parts for clarity.

Then there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the background that can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t decide if it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a diagram or a map, wavering between simplicity and “geography” just about everywhere. And the way that the text indicating travel times cuts across the route lines 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s absolutely no need for them to do so. Simply aligning the text to the right would instantly solve this problem!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测I really try to be more positive with my reviews these days, and look for at least one cool thing or redeeming feature to comment on for every map I post, but… I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve got nothing here. To be honest, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s kind of embarrassing that passengers are presented with this 🔸澳洲开奖 considering their transportation options to and from the airport.

    Yes, this is probably one of the awful maps in creation. Aside from everything else, is there a logical reason the PATH to 33rd Street and 6th Avenue doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t get equal billing with the one to WTC? ANd since they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve shown (essentially unlabled) everything else, is there a reason the ferries aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t shown? Or is one supposed to swim to Staten Island. (And speaking of swimming, poor Statue of Liberty, lying on her back in the middle of the Harbor.

      The 6th Avenue PATH trains don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t go to Newark Penn Station, which for some reason I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t discern was deemed to be important, never mind that none of the PATH trains actually connect to the airport.

    IRL is there actually no legend?

    It does make a good argument for extending PATH another 13,000 feet to the EWR station …
