🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划of all, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s important to note that is part of a new suite of maps and 🔸168澳洲幸运5正规官网2023 that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been in development since 2018. Using Montréal🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s iconic “black background” Métro map as a starting point, this system has been intentionally designed to use a common design language to “harmonise” the user experience for transit users regardless of travel mode. As seen in the photo below, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s already a new Métro map out in the wild that uses the same design language, although everything has been subtly tweaked to suit the content of that smaller scale map better – look at the comparative thickness of the Métro lines, for example, or the fact that no stations on the REM or suburban lines are named unless there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a direct interchange with the Métro.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸🔸澳洲10开官网开奖: Quite a few people sent me this image, which I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve straightened and brightened in Photoshop. However, I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know the original provenance of the picture. If it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s yours, please get in touch so that I can credit you appropriately!🔸澳洲幸运10预测

🔸澳洲开奖 I last reviewed the 澳洲幸运10开奖官网直播Métro map back in 2016, I wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t very impressed – it had moved away from its truly iconic 37-degree tilt to a more standard 45-degree octolinear form and just didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem very polished or confident. It very much seemed like a transitional map, a placeholder for something better in the future… and I think the wait for this suite of new maps has been worth it.

Basing these new maps off the existing Métro maps provides great visual continuity with what has come before, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a lot of improvements – mixed-case station labels instead of all-caps (finally!), numbered bullets for not only the Métro lines but also the suburban rail lines, and a lovely palette of subsidiary pastel colours for the other services. Using a more standard 45-degree form makes sense now with the increased complexity of the maps, and the way that the space between lines 1 and 2 in the central part of the city has been increased to accommodate the rail stations and their labels is rather clever.

Purists might grumble about the horizontal orientation of the southwestern end of Line 1 (it just looks wrong🔸澳洲幸运10预测, even to me as a non-native), but it seems like a pragmatic decision that allows Line 14 to slot in below it on the full system map, and the legend to do the same on the Métro version.

The stylised background representation of the complex geography of the area seems about right to me: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not overly-detailed “faux geography”, nor is it simplified to the point where nothing is recognisable. Definitely an improvement over previous maps in my eyes!

I also like that the maps are future-proofed – the branches of the REM line and the future expansion of Line 5 are already plotted in, and it looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll be adequate room for labels as well – great to see! Not sure there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll ever be full labelling for the Pie-IX rapid bus line, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a long way down the hierarchy of the map anyway!

The “two-circle” interchange symbol at Sauvé seems a bit fussy to me, especially if you consider that by rights there should be one at Parc as well – there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an outside walk involved in the transfer at both stations! A minor inconsistency, but something that should be carefully thought about. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d probably simplify it down to a single dot for simplicity🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sake.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A massive improvement over the 2016 Métro map, and the fact that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s part of what looks like a strong unified wayfinding and signage program makes it even better. It pays homage to the past, while also looking confidently ahead to the future of transit in Montréal.

My apologies for the glare in the photo [No problem! I also straightened the image for publication – Cam]. I would be interested to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on this 1982 Montreal Metro map. I found it in a preserved MR-63 subway car at Exporail, a railway museum outside Montreal. The map shows the three Metro lines open at the time with white stations, as well as the under-construction Blue Line and Du Collège extension of the Orange Line.

While the font may not win any awards for legibility, I think it fits beautifully with the map’s design aesthetic. There are a few station names that have changed since 1982 — I find the change from Vincent-d’Indy to the current Édouard-Montpetit particularly interesting. Lastly, I’m sure the makers of this map could never have imagined that the “Métro régional projeté” (given only a small mention in the legend) would be realized before the Blue Line to Anjou.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

What a fantastically chunky iteration of the Montreal Metro map! Everything is thick and oversized, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s just wonderful🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The crowning glory is the use of ITC Bauhaus Black as the typeface throughout: it really shouldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t work at all, and yet it somehow contrasts against and softens the blockiness of the map to balance it out nicely. Legibility is reduced slightly where the white text crosses the yellow Line 4, but it only affects a few stations.

Other nice touches are the line number bullets at the termini of each line: a square that continues in the direction of the line, but rotates the line number to remain horizontal; and the use of black station dots to denote planned future stations. The fact that Line 5 is only in its planning stage at this point in time helps to explain some of the station name changes: Vincent-d’Indy was an early placeholder name, but the station opened as Édouard-Montpetit in 1988.

Later versions of the map, like this one from 2012, made the waterways more geographical in mature, but I think the level of stylization on this version matches the chunky, diagrammatic nature of the route lines much better. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interesting to see how many of the elements that make the Montreal map unique – the black background and the rotated rectilinear form especially – have remained constant, which helps maintain a consistency in design language (crazy display typefaces not withstanding!) over the years.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Chunky, bold and with a crazy font choice that somehow works: this is just great, and such a product of its time.

Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my map of the streetcar services operated by the Kingston, Portsmouth & Cataraqui Electric Railway in 1910. I was inspired to do this after seeing several maps of historic tram networks including the ones on this website [See my 🔸澳州10开奖记录s of Portland, Spokane and Yakima – Cam].

The system opened on Princess St in 1893. By around 1898 it had reached its largest extent as shown in this map.

In 1910 the system was increasing service on most routes but the Williamsville shuttle eventually closed due to poor track quality and ridership.

Unfortunatley, the system was plagued with financial troubles. In 1905 after a dispute with the city, the system was taken over by a group of citizen owners who continued to operate it as a public service, but it would never again turn a profit. Countless financial difficulties and disputes with the city and the electric utilities filled the 1910s and 1920s, but the streetcars kept running. It even survived a carbarn fire in 1909.

Sadly, a second fire in 1930 proved to be the last straw. All but one passenger trams were burned as well as the carbarn itself, and it was decided to abandon the unprofitable lines once and for all.

The styling for the diagram itself was inspired a bit by the Montreal metro🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s dark background, bright lines, and combination of sharp corners in the landscape and smooth bends on the lines themselves. I went for bright fluorescent colours to stand out against the dark background. The route names are as far as I know accurate but I added the numbers. Just for fun I also added the mainline connections of the time as well.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Nice work, Noah! I always love it 🔸澳洲开奖 someone takes the time to research and document old streetcar networks, preserving that knowledge for the future. I often find that information about them is very fragmented… a bit in this book, something on a wiki there, an old diagram from somewhere else, and so on… so compiling everything in one easy-to-read map is a great way to consolidate that knowledge.

Design-wise, I like the dark background contrasted with the bright route lines… very stylish! I wonder if there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a better way to show the main line railroads, as the dashed lines look like under construction roads at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance. A thinner solid line in a col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not quite as bright as the streetcar lines (a purple/mauve maybe?) might work.

As this is very definitely a map and not a diagram, perhaps you need a scale bar and maybe even some sort of period-appropriate compass rose. Labelling the bodies of water would be good as well.

The main area that needs some love is typography. It looks like you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve used Microsoft🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Calibri throughout, which is a fairly workmanlike, generic “Office” typeface – not really period appropriate or visually striking. If you have access to them, then an early 20th century gothic typeface like Franklin Gothic or News Gothic could be a better choice. Push yourself here, as good typography can really elevate a project like this.

As a little mapping exercise I made a fantasy-ish strip map today of what tiered service patterns on the GO Transit Lakeshore Line could hypothetically look like after the Regional Express Rail (RER) project is finished. Some of it is fairly reasonable/already proposed/under construction, such as the East Harb🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划or Park Lawn stations, Eglinton Crosstown, Ontario Line, etc.; while some parts of the map are a little more far in the future or are unproposed thus far, such as a GO service to Brantford, Cobourg, Uxbridge, etc.

I based the map design on West Japan Railway Company🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s strip maps as I wanted to kind of demonstrate a parallel as to how Torontonians/people from the GTA can reimagine the GO Transit system; not just as a simple commuter rail system, but a more complex rapid transit or regional system with different service patterns, like in Japan. Unlike Japan, however, I also included some “limited express” services that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d imagine GO could hypothetically operate as well, adopting the “limited express” model that Japan Railways employs for longer-distance rail.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

A rather lovely hypothetical diagram here, and one that definitely wears its influences proudly on its sleeve – the JR West lineage is immediately obvious, right down to the “some trains do not stop at this station” central black dot symbol and leader lines joining stations to connecting services information.

If there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see as an improvement, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be a consistently-applied horizontal grid. At the moment, most of the routes on the opposite sides of Union Station don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite 🔸澳洲幸运10预测line up horizontally and it creates a bit of visual imbalance – something is “off”, even if the viewer doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite know what is causing it. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve demonstrated how using a grid and aligning horizontal elements to it across the entire width of the diagram could work below. Note how aligning routes to the grid allows the ST and LE branches to mirror each other exactly on their unified horizontal axis instead of the curve on the ST branch finishing further to the right as it does on Ze🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s version.

Of course, the grid could then be used as a way to place the connecting services information consistently as well, and so on… forming an underlying basis for the whole diagram.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测An excellent application of a proven strip map design that I feel could be made even better by adherence to an underlying grid to give a little bit more structure to the diagram.

I got interested in a 🔸澳州10开奖记录 of the Moscow Metro featured on this site some time ago (November 2012, 4 stars). The radical simplicity of the visual language, using only straight lines and circles, gives a unique quality to the map, both in its high legibility and evocative power.

Realizing that it would be geometrically impossible to recreate this design to fit today’s expanded Moscow metro network, I started to apply a similar design language to a series of metro systems around the world, selected for the intermediate complexity of their network, allowing for a compact and unique-looking map, yet somehow challenging design-wise.

Building upon the original map of Moscow, I tried out ways to display additional layers of information: branching lines, route numbers, and interchanges to other public transit networks.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a great little project, Cédric! I have to admit that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m a little surprised at how well this style adapts to all the different networks, though Munich is probably pushing it to the absolute limits of what it can achieve. As you rightly say, this technique really works best on networks of “intermediate complexity”.

Of all the examples you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve shown, I think Milan is my favourite: a series of similar interlocking arcs all connected by the straight line axis of Line 3… wonderful! Montreal is also quite lovely, although I could imagine that people who live there could take issue with the representation of “north”, which they generally take as meaning “away from the river”.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Great work all around, and I look forward to more diagrams made in the same style in the future!

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m loving this totally bonkers diagram of lines owned, leased or controlled by the Boston & Maine RR in 1915. An increasingly complex system of line colours combined with dashes, dots and zig-zags attempts to record all the various agreements in place for line leases and trackage rights. The B&M itself is the yellow lines to the right of the map – all the other coloured lines are lines that they have some level of control over, and the thin black lines are competitor railroads.

Production-wise, it looks like the black parts of the map have been printed onto cloth, and all the colours have been hand-painted over the top – you can see some smudges and smears in certain locations. The map also may have been amended by hand at some point: a red hatched line from Manchester to Concord has been painted over the printed matter.

Stylistically, the piece is more diagram than map with everything straightened out as much as possible, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s fairly primitive work. Still, the resemblance to modern colour-coded 澳洲10开官网开奖 is impossible to ignore!

A charmingly simple two-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map of streetcar and interurban lines operated by the British Columbia Electric Railway Co. in 1923. Almost everything is hand-drawn and lettered apart from the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s title, some explanatory text and some line numbers along the streets with more services (13-14-15-16 along Broadway West, for example). This last makes me wonder if this information was added to this edition of the map, either having been previously omitted or the lines servicing the street having changed.

Of interest is the way that the cartographer has made the map simpler (and easier to draw!) by only including streets within a few blocks of each line – in effect illustrating the walksheds or catchment area for this form of transit. Also, that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a splendid north pointer at the bottom left!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Rough around the edges, but simple and effective.

This transit map (in brochure form) covers the bus network in the area stretching from Canmore to Lake Louise in Alberta, about 80 km from end to end. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lot of information to unpack in here, but here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a few things we found particularly interesting or worth noting:

• A lot of schematic maps try to simplify geometry in order to make the relation between routes and the lines more interesting to follow. This map, on the other hand, actually makes it more complicated, showing the Trans-Canada Highway doing a full 180 around Tunnel Mountain in order to fit the mountain on the page without an inset, while in reality it only does about 90 degrees before continuing on to Canmore.
• It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s easy to miss just how far apart these towns really are, from looking at this map. Many commuter 澳洲10开官网开奖 relax the scale a lot as they get into suburbs, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s about a 16:1 difference in scale in this map! Between the junction of the TCH and the Bow Valley Parkway (highway 1A) in the bottom left, and the Lake Louise Park and Ride, is close to 48 kilometers, while the part of Canmore depicted on this map is only about 3 km long in its entirety.
• You🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll note that they recorded the actual distances between several locations on the map, to help get a sense of scale. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s got to be a very difficult challenge to properly convey those distances without losing too much resolution.
• Many of the locations on this map, especially on the seasonal routes, are tourist destinations, reflecting the tourist-heavy interest, particularly in the summer, in the area.
• Different shapes of stop markers are used to indicate dropoff-only and pickup-only stops. This is neat, as marker shape doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem to be a common place to put variation, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t add much visual busyness and it gives us fond feelings of Mini Metro. In some places (such as the Benchlands Trail overpass in Canmore) it can be difficult to tell if a marker is a circle or square, though.
• It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not clear what the hatching (don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know the technical terms) on parts of the Moraine Lake and On-It services is for. This is commonly used to indicate future construction, but this makes no sense in context. We actually can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t figure it out for sure, but it looks like the Moraine Lake route is distinguishing between the incoming and outgoing routes, and trying to indicate that there isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t through service, while on the On-It service it seems to be trying to distinguish between the trips which do and do not serve Canmore (see the schedule).
• The Canmore local Roam route 5 service doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t appear on this map, probably in part because this map is by Parks Canada rather than the Bow Valley Regional Transit Commission, and partly for space reasons. (It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worth noting that we couldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find a full-system map from the BVRTC for their Roam services.)
• The map sets out full service and fare details of the various routes, including what you can bring with you on the bus, no doubt in part because of the tourist audience and in part because there is very little in the way of regularity to the fares and service dates.
• The thinner lines in the inset area in Banff to let them fit in is a nice touch.
• Stops served in both directions are inconsistently notated with either both arrows (in Lake Louise area) or none (elsewhere).
• The area is beautiful and absolutely a destination worth visiting if you get the chance, although the crowds are getting pretty bad these days.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, my apologies to Alexis — this map has been sitting in my queue for ages, and I really should have gotten to it earlier.

Yes, this map has some problems with variable scale and the draftsmanship is a little dodgy in places (there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some very unconvincing curves around corners), but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m going to give it full marks for getting this kind of information out there. As National Parks around the world get more and more popular, we need to find ways to cut down on the use of single-occupancy vehicles within the parks themselves. A brochure/map like this that makes public transportation in and around the park look easy and accessible is only to be commended.

Like Alexis, I particularly like the comprehensive table at the bottom left that clearly outlines all the fare and service details for all the routes — this is great information for potential riders to have. If anything, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see more emphasis given to the cost-effectiveness of buying multi-day passes for the Roam network ($12 for three days is a pretty good deal!), so that people can make educated decisions about their transportation choices.

The differing scales in the map could perhaps be dealt with by drawing break lines across the Trans-Canada Highway between the major areas, just to make it clear that the distances between them are larger than shown. The inclusion of distances as labels does mitigate the need for this a bit, though.

The inset of Banff almost feels unnecessary — it adds very little detail to the depiction of the town on the main map, and almost seems to have been included just to fill up an otherwise empty space.

The “pecked” lines (to use the official term, Alexis) really do just seem to be used to say that not every bus follows this route — it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s more obvious for the brown On-It route to Calgary, as not every bus stops at Canmore, so we have to assume it retains the same meaning for the Moraine Lake service.

I would have refrained from placing the TCH “Route 1” maple leaf directly over intersections — it makes it hard to follow routes through the intersection, especially coming out of Banff itself.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 A very serviceable map that does a good job of outlining transit options in and around Banff. A little more polish would really make it sing. Three stars.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Source: Parks Canada website

These are two maps I made for a class where I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m proposing a trans-national maglev through what I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m calling the “Greater Northeast Corridor.” Totally unrealistic, I know, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to get y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion on the map!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Oh, I do🔸澳洲幸运10预测 like this, Adam! 🔸澳洲开奖 you have proposed travel times of just 18 minutes between Philadelphia and New York (as just one example), the rapid transit diagram design metaphor works pretty much perfectly, and you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve executed things very nicely indeed. The tilted rectangle looks great, though I probably would have moved Montreal to be the last station along the top edge, rather than the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划station heading downwards along the left side – it just marries up a bit better with the geographical map (which is also nicely executed) and the idea than Canada is “above” the United States.

The inclusion of connecting local services in each city is a nice touch, although it seems odd to include Canada🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Via Rail and not Amtrak as well. Surely the maglev system hasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t supplanted it completely? New Haven should also have a CTRail logo, right? Also, the legend for the map has a dashed line for future planned routes, but that style of line doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t appear on the map at all: a minor nitpick.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测As Adam says, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s highly implausible that something like this would ever get built, but at least we can dream with this great map!

A simple and modernist diagram of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果澳大利亚 in Halifax, produced in advance of the system converting from a mix of buses and trolleybuses to all diesel buses on January 1, 1970. The disclaimer that “a full-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map will be available shortly” seems to indicate that this particular map was somewhat of a placeholder effort until a final solution was produced.

Despite that, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s quite handsome in its simplicity and the clear explanatory text to lower right complements the map well. The fact that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only a handful of routes makes it easy to follow them across the map, even though everything is the same colour.

Of note is that this is the very 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划transit diagram produced by renowned design firm Gottschalk+Ash.

The final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Simple, clean modernist design. Works well because of the relative simplicity of the network. Three-and-a-half stars.
