🔸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.

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, one prediction I made in my previous review [October 2022] has been proven true: this map marks the end of the old colour-based line designations. No more Red Line, Blue Line, etc. – it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s now A, B, C and so on.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll also note that it really does seem that someone responsible for making these maps reads this blog: my last review opined that even spacing of the station names🔸澳洲幸运10预测 along the B Line might look better than even spacing of the station dots🔸澳洲幸运10预测… and that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s exactly what we have this time around. I also like that these labels have all been set horizontally instead of on a 45-degree angle, a treatment which is now solely reserved for stations along horizontal route lines.

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no surprises with the depiction of the Regional Connector itself on the map: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been shown as being under construction for a while now, and this map keeps true to those earlier depictions. The criss-crossing route lines through downtown LA make a nice design feature, and I do like the way that the “Historic Broadway” label nestles neatly into the curve near it – a clever little touch.

A distinctive feature of previous maps has disappeared with this iteration – the white keyline around station dots that separated them from the route line they were above has been replaced with more generic dots with a white centre. I wonder if they felt the previous approach broke up the flow of the route lines too much? And while the dots for rail services are still round, and the dots for bus services are still square, they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re a bit harder to quickly tell apart with the white centres and slightly rounded corners on the square symbols.

Another change is assigning a two-letter code to all connecting services (Amtrak, Metrolink, FlyAway and the C Line🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Airport Shuttle). This does make the map itself look a bit cleaner, but it also means that users have to refer to the legend to work out what those two-letter codes mean instead of just reading that information in-place on the map.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Golly, that new A Line is long🔸澳洲幸运10预测, isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t it? A fairly safe update of an already excellent map. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s perhaps been made a little bit more generic with the removal of what was a very distinctive design element.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Update: Oran V on Twitter provides context for some of these changes – it brings the system map into line with other maps that already used those elements.

I’ve been a fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划work for a while now, and thought I’d submit my own work for judgement.

I’ve had a crack at designing a map for an as-yet non-existent tram and bus network for Bristol, UK, a city in dire need of reliable, integrated public transport. It would operate as a network of 19 tram lines in and around the urban area of Bristol, with five ‘metrobus’ routes linking the city to nearby commuter towns. Whilst there’s still a huge struggle between residents of the city, campaign groups and the city’s councils, I tried to envisage what a network could one day look like.

I had a few problems in terms of design, particularly trying to distinguish the separate bus routes apart from the rest of the tram network. The city centre orbital route also operates as part of each branch line, with trains running clockwise before branching out into the suburbs, and needed to find a way of denoting this (eventually with arrows and graduated lines).

I’d look forward to hearing y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Thanks for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划submission, Elliott! I like both the way this diagram looks and y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划boundless ambition 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to envisioning a future for transit in Bristol! While normally I steer clear of commenting on the feasibility of networks depicted in 🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网s, I will just say that running the trams from 19 feeder lines around a one-way downtown loop sounds a little… problematic🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

That aside, the diagram is certainly striking, with its central focal point and use of only 90-degree angles. The liberal use of locality names throughout the map mitigates the lack of geographical cues, though it might still be hard work for non-locals to relate this diagram to the real world. The choice to show that central loop as a solid black with all the other lines fading into it is probably a wise one, though it might be a good idea to not use black (or any really dark colours) for any of the other lines – note how Lines 4 and 12 take on more prominence because that fading effect is not present: it almost looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one through-running route between the two termini.

A few thoughts – I think y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划station labelling is a little small. A good starting point is to make the x-height of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划labels the same height as the thickness of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划route lines and see how that looks/adjust from there. The typeface used, while clean and distinctive has a few quirks that hamper legibility: the ampersand (&) looks way too much like a lower-case “e” for my liking, and Oldstyle numerals – where some characters are smaller than others or drop below the baseline – are something I find just a bit too idiosyncratic for good transit map design. If y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划typeface is an Opentype font, you may be able to change the numerals from “Oldstyle” to “Lining”, where all the glyphs are of equal height and always sit uniformly on the baseline.

I have to say that I found it hard work to differentiate between the tram and bus routes at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance: while the bus routes are🔸澳洲幸运10预测 thinner than the tram routes, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not enough to be able to quickly tell them apart. Some things to consider might be an obviously different line style or distinctive col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划for the bus lines, and maybe changing the shape of the bullets to a square instead of a circle for that instant visual difference.

Another thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see is y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划line numbering doing more work to help make sense of the system. At the moment, it all seems a little random. You could maybe number the routes sequentially in order clockwise around the map, starting from the 12-o🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页clock position and paying close attention to the ending position of any branching lines to keep them in the correct sequential order – the outer terminus of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸1a should appear before🔸澳洲幸运10预测 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸1b, for example: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the other way around on the diagram at present. Alternatively, you could perhaps bundle routes from each “exit point” of the downtown loop with related numbers… maybe “🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸T1″ through “🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸T5″ for all the routes that exit via 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Temple Meads, for example. Either of these approaches would also have the advantage of bundling all the routes together properly in the legend. Using the above example, all the Temple Meads services would run neatly after each other instead of being spread randomly throughout the legend as they currently are. Routes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; or routes T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 both make a lot more sense than routes 4, 7, 8, 17 and 18! Help y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划users find the information they need!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A really well-drawn diagram of this expansive fantasy network: it just needs a little more attention to detail to really make it work for me. A great start!

Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a map from a rarely-seen era of Portland, Oregon🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s transit history – the period of time between the end of the streetcar era and the emergence of the current transit operator, TriMet in 1969. The Rose City Transit Company (with their lovely casual script logo and friendly “Rosy” nickname) operated bus service within the Portland city limits from 1956 until TriMet was formed.

Under RTC🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s watch, the last of Portland🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s trolleybuses were phased out and bus routes were consolidated considerably – many routes linked into crosstown pairs through downtown instead of terminating there (some routes like the 4 and 35 still act like this even today!). The numbering of routes on the map is somewhat misleading, as these numbers only act as keys to the actual route names listed below the map – Rose City Transit never used route numbers on headboards, only destination names. The pairing of routes is not made clear by the map, despite the blurb to the left implying that it does.

The map itself is fairly rudimentary, with thick black lines overlaid on an idealised five-block grid with some general neighbourhoods and points of interest named. The dense grid of downtown routes is almost impossible to make sense of, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s fairly easy to follow them in the outer areas. One thing that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s obvious to see is just how much the bus routes still follow the old streetcar lines – there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still even a “Bridge Transfer” route that runs between the major Willamette River bridges on the east side!

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 final thing to note is Rose City Transit🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s business address at 4100 SE 17th Avenue – the site of Portland🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s main streetcar shops before🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Rose City Transit, and still in use as TriMet🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Center Street shops today.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Nice to see a something from a neglected part of Portland🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s transit history, though the map itself isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t anything special. Some fun mid-century design flourishes with the little rose and bus icons, though!

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划thing I noticed is how this version of the map seems to be a point-by-point correction of the perceived flaws that I noted in that 2016: the 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 River has been removed from the map, the loop of the A/Blue Line in Long Beach has been restored to a more accurate orientation, and the labels along the B/Red Line are spaced out a bit more evenly, though I think this can still be better – I feel that it can sometimes be better to space labels🔸澳洲幸运10预测 evenly along a line instead of the station dots. All of these changes are definite improvements, so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m happy to see them made.

The gradual transition from named lines (Blue/Red/Expo, etc.) to lettered lines – A Line, B Line, E Line, etc.) continues with bullets now at the ends of route lines on the map, but with both🔸澳洲幸运10预测 names still noted in the legend. By the time the Regional Connector comes on line, I would expect that lettered line names will stand on their own.

The new K Line (note that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no secondary name – e.g., the “Pink Line” – for it) slots into the map nicely, with plenty of room for the future stations to be added between Westchester/Veterans and Aviation/LAX stations. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d personally like to see a thin “bus” line drawn from Aviation/LAX station to the airport to give a better indication of the LAX Shuttle service instead of the fairly indistinct icon that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s currently used.

There are a couple of minor technical errors and inconsistencies: all the labels on the western end of the C Line from Mariposa to Redondo Beach have been pushed downwards slightly so that they no longer align to the same grid as the A and J lines. This is probably intentional to give a bit more room around LAX, but I do like it 🔸澳洲开奖 elements intentionally line up across a map like this. The label for Crenshaw station sits considerably higher above the C Line than all the other labels.

Very minor pet peeves: Why is 7th St/Metro Center abbreviated to “Metro Ctr” 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s plenty of room to spell out the name in full? Similarly, the abbreviation of “Arts District” to “Arts Dist”. For me, abbreviations like this on a transit map should be kept to an absolute minimum and used only if there is no other option.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A sleek upgrade to what was already one of the better US 澳洲10开官网开奖. Looking good, LA Metro!

Hello! I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m a transportation planning student and longtime fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog, and wanted to submit this map from the twin cities of Zlín and Otrokovice in Moravia in the Czech Republic. The cities have a long history as company towns for the Baťa shoe company and have a very different pattern of urban development than other cities in the region. The region, set in a valley, was planned reflecting modernist principles set by Le Corbusier and Ebenezer Howard, with later additions following the typical socialist-influenced planning used in other modernist housing estates in the former Czechoslovakia. The city🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s trolleybus network, which began construction right before WWII, follows the main urban growth axis along the valley, and a local railway line is also integrated into the municipal transport ticketing scheme. The map used is an isometric one which uses coloration based on the tariff zones lines pass through, and line thickness determines the mode that operates on that portion. Let me know y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a bit of an odd one. While this diagram has been drawn with a lot of skill and precision, I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s actually that usable as a piece of wayfinding design. The best example of this genre – an isometric diagram of S- and U-Bahn service in Stuttgart from c. 2000 – works because the whole thing is so simple and clean. All the routes are shown at the same level in the hierarchy and are traceable from one end to the other along their colour-coded lines, leaving no ambiguity at all.

However, this diagram is far more complex and idiosyncratic, and the isometric treatment just adds another barrier to comprehension on top of that. This means everything just takes that little bit longer to understand, and the oft-quoted “eight-second rule” (before a user simply gives up) starts to kick in. A few main problems that I see:

The colour-coding of lines by fare zone seems like a good idea, but it breaks the routes up into disparate segments that look for all the world like they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re totally separate routes that interchange at certain stations along the way. Meanwhile, the grey and white shading behind the diagram has absolutely nothing to do with fare zones, but apparently denotes areas where front door-only boarding is enforced (presumably to stop unscrupulous riders from sneaking on via the back door and not paying a fare?). So right from the start, that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s two🔸澳洲幸运10预测 major design elements that have completely different meanings to what they usually have on a transit map. While innovation and thinking outside the box are laudable ideals, too much messing with the recognised design language of 澳洲10开官网开奖 can impede usability.

Because each mode – trolleybus and bus – only gets one route line regardless of how many services use each segment, users have to find their desired route number and then hunt for it across the map again and again to follow it to their destination. Changes of direction and branches aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t shown that intuitively, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hard work, made a bit more difficult by the fact that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no differentiation in the way that the route numbers are presented visually – it becomes tricky to know whether you should be following a thick trolleybus line or a thin bus line. Of course, locals might be aware that trolleybuses use route numbers 1 through 14 (the rest being normal buses), but that doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t help tourists or other people unfamiliar with the network.

The diagram certainly is visually striking, and I appreciate the attention to detail that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been put into its creation. Like the Stuttgart diagram, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a “3D” building incorporated into the diagram that helps to really sell the dimensional illusion. I also really appreciate the way that there are absolutely no horizontal or vertical route line segments – these always look a bit out of place on these isometric projections. The legend is skillfully incorporated into the map, and the arrows to orient users along the length of the valley is also a nice touch.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Really, really pretty – but it seems like a lot of hard work to actually use to get around. Too many conventions get turned on their head.

A very handsome map of transportation services in the greater Kansas City area from 1941. A nicely subdued olive street grid is overlaid by the route lines – colour-coded by mode (black for streetcars, blue and red for bus lines, and a lovely aqua for trolleybuses). Areas of interest are called out in bright yellow, so this looks like a six-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划print job – quite a luxury in 1941!

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a great downtown inset, a great ornate compass rose incorporating the logo of the Kansas City Public Service Co., and some fantastic🔸澳洲幸运10预测 1940s typography throughout. What🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not to love?

Side note: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Copy on the reverse of the map notes that the transportation company of 1941 “operates a fleet of 413 electric cars, 234 motor busses and 86 trolley busses, supplying service on 251 miles of street car routes, 191 miles of motor bus routes and 51 miles of trolley bus routes.”

A major factor is that Wales has a a distinctive and recognisable shape that aids in locating major towns, while the Grand Est region is very indistinct and blobby. The simplified shape used on the diagram isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t actually much like the real world, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not that useful for locating places. Highlighting major destinations like Strasbourg, Metz, Nancy and Mulhouse would help a lot, as they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re somewhat lost in a sea of identical labels. Contrast and emphasis to guide the eye to important information is a huge part of transit map design!

I also have major issues with the way that TGV services are shown. Firstly, the shade of light blue used makes them look like rivers instead of high-speed rail. Then, they have to bounce up and down across the diagram to line up with their stations, which seems an odd way to depict y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划fastest services – the straighter these route lines are shown, the better, in my opinion. Finally, because the route lines are really🔸澳洲幸运10预测 indicating the extent of the LGV Est high-speed rail lines and not the actual TGV services that run on those lines, it looks like these services end at Vendenheim and Petit-Croix instead of their actual final destinations. Ultimately, the diagram is meant to be focussing on TER services within🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the region, so the TGV lines should be subsidiary information, but this presentation still rubs me the wrong way.

My biggest problem with the diagram is that there doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really seem to be much of an underlying grid holding it all together… as much as possible, all the vertical lines should adhere to a multiples of a constant vertical grid to give some rhythm and flow, but they just seem to be placed anywhere. The uneven placement of station dots throughout the diagram shows that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some room to move to get those lines spaced out a bit better, but that level of care hasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t been taken.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: A shapeless, formless blob in need of a stronger grid and better information hierarchy. Unmemorable.

Hello there! The last time you reviewed a map of mine was in 2015 [See review here – Cam]. Since then I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve moved houses, had several new jobs, and been through a pandemic. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve recently been reworking a map of the Welsh rail network, based on a 2:1 triangular grid, using Affinity Designer which has continued to improve.

You will see there are some clear design factors in the diagram. A large improvement from my last design is the ability to adopt a balance between map and diagram. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a North-South line between Manchester/Liverpool and Newport, and I finally managed to get the Valley Lines evenly spaced and visually balanced, including space for planned stations. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve included the Oswestry and Amlwch proposals.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m pleased that the South Wales Mainline gives a strong, smooth base to the diagram, and likewise the North Wales Coast line gives a clear Northern boundary hugging the coast. The Cambrian and Heart of Wales lines provide a nice balance in the centre – almost like the ‘scales🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 in 90🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s versions of the Lyon metro.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve finally managed to incorporate large parts of the TrawsCymru bus network where it augments (rather than competes with) the railway. This means the rural heart of Wales doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t look as empty as it otherwise would, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also some Western ‘closure🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 to the map. Despite that, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s clear that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s less public transport in the West and North, which reflects reality. F🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划connecting steam railways are also included.

The map is bilingual, except for where there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a single spelling of a location or – and this is my preference – the Welsh is so similar to the English that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve simply opted for the Welsh alone. (Merthyr Tydful being an example.)

Like every such diagram, there are trade-offs. This isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t perfect and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a number of things I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite fix:

1. The ruling size of the station labels the impossibly long Eneu🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页r-glyn a Pharc Churchill Energyln & Churchill Park. That gave a 6pt type size which is … on the small end. I could not come up with a way to make this bigger without making the Rhymni line quite a mess, or implausibly broadening the whole of the Valley Lines.
2. Grangetown and the future Loundon Square are close to their station dots, but not close enough for my liking.
3. Heath High Level and Low Level is a constant problem 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to managing two stations with long names in two languages whose platforms are only 70 metres apart. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve given it a go as best I can
4. Bilingual station names can vary immensely in size, and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve opted to evenly space the text up a route line and move the station dots to match, rather than keep the dots an equal distance but mash the text up. This is most obvious on the Merthyr, Rhymni and Ebbw Vale lines.
5. Finally the ‘kink🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 of the Marches line approaching Newport is a pity, but avoids confusion with the SWML and reflects a number of twists the passenger goes through to get into the station.

Other than this I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m pleased with the graphic balance, the legibility, and the room for future plans to be incorporated without changing the diagram. But I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be very interested in y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划own thoughts!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

🔸澳洲开奖 I reviewed James🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 previous diagram back in 2015, I noted that it was unfortunate that it didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really look anything like Wales, being squished into a landscape A3 format. This new version definitely solves that problem by employing a 2:1 grid (which gives angles of 26.57° instead of the commonly-employed “isometric angle” of 30°), allowing for an excellent approximation of Wales🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 shape. Note how James only uses vertical lines and 26.57° lines (no horizontal or steeper 63.43° lines), which makes the diagram very compositionally strong.

Within that shape, all the lines are arranged in a very visually pleasing way – I particularly like the way all of the Metro lines fan out evenly from Cardiff. Nothing feels too cramped, which is quite an achievement given the use of bilingual labels. I think that spacing station labels evenly instead of their dots was definitely the right choice in this instance, so well done to James for using this solution.

Inclusion of connecting bus services is most welcome and fleshes out the network nicely, and showing the heritage steam railways as well is just the icing on the cake. I think the only thing I really miss is an indication of ferry connections at Holyhead, Fishguard and Milford Haven, just to complete the transportation picture.

The legend does seem to be missing an indication that coloured station labels indicated planned Metro stations, but that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s easily fixed.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A massive improvement from James🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 previous effort (which wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t bad🔸澳洲幸运10预测 by any stretch of the imagination) – this is confident, bright and really well executed. Great work, and definitely better than the stodgy and old-fashioned official Transport for Wales effort (PDF link).

While I was in the park, I was heartened to see that the National Parks Service is attempting to relieve chronic traffic congestion along the most popular section of the South Rim by promoting the use of free shuttle buses to move between popular locations. Indeed, during summer some parts of the rim are only🔸澳洲幸运10预测 accessible by bus, foot or bike. However, for this approach to work, the communication about the buses needs to be clear, concise and easily accessible – and for the most part it is. Upon entering the park, all visitors receive a leaflet that outlines the routes, with typically lovely NPS house-style maps (the Village-area map is shown below).

These maps are further supported with simple “read-down” strip maps, which help make clear that there are often different stops in either direction: the Red Line makes all stops westbound on Hermit Road, but only f🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划out of nine on the return trip, for example. The Blue Line takes a fairly direct route from the Visitor Center to the Village, but a far more circuitous one on the return journey.

Also useful, but seen less often are simple “loop diagrams” for each route that also clearly show the different stops in each direction, and also make it clearer which stops easily allow a change in direction by use of a bi-directional arrow interchange symbol. A rider getting on the Blue Line at Mather Campground who wishes to go to the Village should get off the eastbound bus at the Market Plaza stop to meet a westbound Blue Line bus there, rather than continuing all the way to the Visitor Center, for example.

As well as the brochure, these maps appear at the major bus stops and in the buses themselves, so information is always at hand for riders. Best of all, service is frequent (10–15 minute headways), so no timetable is needed. However, in the middle of the day, demand on the Blue and Red lines still exceeds capacity so riders may have to wait for the next bus, or even the one after it!

A few quibbles: naming the routes after colours maybe isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t ideal for the park🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s international audience: numbered designations might be better. And the early-morning “Hiker🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Shuttle” bus from the Village to the South Kaibab trailhead via the Backcountry Office and the Visitor Center never shows up on any maps… it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s like a little secret that you just have to be in the know about.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测As visitation numbers to National Parks continue to grow, shuttle bus services like this are going to be increasingly important to reduce strain on facilities and the natural environment. Communication about these services need to be clear and easily understandable, and – for the most part – they succeed in Grand Canyon.
