I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always thought that San Diego🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s “Trolley” map to be pretty bad, with various clashing angles, line icons and brand names (ugh) that don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t add anything (“Sycuan” is a casino, and the Blue LIne is named UC San Diego because they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re a sponsor, not because the line extension will go there). Only ONE landmark is noted, the baseball park downtown. The only geographical feature indicated is the international border, which isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t necessarily bad, but if they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re going to note the border, they could also indicate that from San Ysidro station it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a short walk to Mexico. On the other hand, two stations have airport indicators, yet the airport is far from both of them, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no airport shuttle as such. All in all, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s just a mess of a map.

Anyway, I was hoping that the MTS would take the opportunity to rethink the map 🔸澳洲开奖 they open the major extension of the Blue Line north to UC San Diego and “UTC”, which is a major center of offices and housing. I just ran across a new map on the MTS website [and] I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划comments! To me, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s moderately better than the old one, but not great, and I think a design professional (which I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not) could improve it immensely. It really bugs me that the Orange Line takes a short right angle while all other turns are presented as curves… I also think the broad Orange Line curve at City College is distracting, but maybe that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s unavoidable? What bothers me most is the Orange Line angle in Lemon Grove that does not reflect the angle of the “Euclid Avenue” label that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s next to it. Ouch!

This one🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an interesting beast, Robert – there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some things I like more than in the old version (left), and some that I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t. It probably comes out as being better in the long run, but only just🔸澳洲幸运10预测. Overall, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s certainly cleaner and easier to read, with the angled labels being slightly less neck-breaking. The placement of Courthouse station is much better now, without the overwrought way it was brought inside the Silver Line loop previously. An understated but very welcome change is the way that the line name icons have all lost their black outlines (which made them look a bit childish) and now have their names set in the same col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划instead of black. It unifies the information and links the names directly to the route lines themselves – so much better!

However, I do miss the unique angles of the previous map, which were very distinctive and perhaps even a little more representative of the actual trajectories of the lines in real life (not always important in a diagram, but still nice to have if possible!). It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s especially noticeable with the downtown loop, which had a very distinctive curved section in its southwestern quadrant, but is now just a regular ol🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 rectangle.

Speaking of the loop, the Silver Line – a heritage trolley, not full light rail – is still a bit problematic. It only runs in a clockwise loop because the PCC streetcars on the line are only single-ended, and it only runs on weekends – neither of which are indicated on the map. It also doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t get any station dots, which perhaps indicates that it was included somewhat grudgingly on the diagram. A directional arrow or two might fix the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划problem; and a more comprehensive map legend the second.

The sharp right-angle turn that the Orange Line takes at 12th & Imperial is perhaps a little unfortunate, but seemingly unavoidable if the Green and Orange lines are to create a unified horizontal line across the diagram. There are potential solutions like staggering the station dots at 12th & Imperial, but something like that might come across as over-designed on a simple diagram like this one.

Interestingly, because the rest of the diagram has become strictly rectilinear, the one remaining angled section along the Orange Line looks a bit out of place – I might have just straightened it out to simply form a standard 90-degree angle. The error that Robert points out above – that the angled station labels don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t match the angle of this section of line is impossible to unsee once you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve noticed it, unfortunately.

Finally, I quite like the hatched treatment of the future extension of the Blue Line – it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s got a very “Washington, DC Metro Map” feel to it, which I think the designers were definitely trying to evoke.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Better, but at the cost of an unique and distinctive map design.
