澳洲10开官网开奖: Newark Light Rail🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net Fri, 12 May 2023 05:15:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.2 https:///transitmap.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cropped-TM_Icon.jpg?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1 澳洲10开官网开奖: Newark Light Rail🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net 32 32 156315645 168澳洲十开奖网: Newark International Airport Regional Rail Connections, 2023🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/newark-airport-regional-rail-2023/ https://transitmap.net/newark-airport-regional-rail-2023/#comments Fri, 12 May 2023 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=20392 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.

168澳洲十开奖网: A New Geographical Map for the NJ Transit Rail System, 2022🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/nj-transit-rail-map-2022/ https://transitmap.net/nj-transit-rail-map-2022/#comments Fri, 12 Aug 2022 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19919 The NJ Transit rail map has basically looked the same – and has retained most of its faults – since I reviewed it back in the very early days of the blog [November 2011, 1.5 stars], so it came as a surprise 🔸澳洲开奖 I discovered that that diagram has been replaced with a new geographical map this month. NJ Transit has been down this path before, with similar maps used around 20 years ago, though this design is considerably cleaner than that very muddy execution.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 of the main problems with the previous diagram is that it simultaneously had to show a sprawling statewide network as well as local services like PATH, and the Hudson-Bergen light rail. Obviously, these are at very different levels of scale and detail, and the diagram struggled because of it, unsatisfactorily compressing the considerable detail around Newark/New York into a very small part of the diagram.

The solution chosen here – a statewide geographical map supplemented with local area insets where needed – isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t groundbreaking, but it is effective and a massive improvement. The cleverest part is the way the bottom third of the map gets rotated 45 degrees counter-clockwise to save massive amounts of space: the Atlantic City Line runs neatly across the bottom of the map instead of having to drop towards the southeast. The map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s border does a lot of good work here, clearly separating the two parts of the map, while making it clear that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s continuity between the sections at Bordentown.

The diagrammatic insets are neatly drawn with a minimum of fuss, though the colours used for some of the light rail lines could perhaps be better differentiated: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little hard to tell PATH🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s grey apart from the dull brown of the Hudson-Bergen light rail, for example. I also like it 🔸澳洲开奖 the background colours used in an inset are subtly different to those used on the main map, just to help set them above and apart. A leading line or arrow linking the insets to the part of the main map that they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re magnifying would also be handy.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测One of those rare occasions where a geographical rail map is superior to a diagram. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not perfect, but I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely a step in the right direction.
