Interestingly, an ad for a baker on the pamphlet definitively dates this map to 1957, but trams along Cavendish Road (to the south east of the map, and where my mother lived at the time) ceased operation in 1955 and were replaced by trolley buses. Perhaps the map just makes no distinction between the two, although copy on the reverse side still asks riders to “take the Cavendish Road tram”.

Hello! I just thought I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d send you my attempt at making the NYC Ferry network a bit less intimidating to navigate. While many of the issues are with the network itself (the stopping patterns are absolutely bizarre), I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always thought the 168澳洲十开奖网 made the network far harder to navigate than it should be. So here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my attempt to fix that!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Like Evelyn, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never really been a fan of the official NYC Ferries map: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sloppily drawn and 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 Vignelli-style diagram or a geographic map. Eventually it fails at being either, with too much room being taken up just to show the trip all the way out to Rockaway that could be better used to expand the complex East River routings and some absurdly overly-detailed coastline in Jamaica Bay.

Evelyn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s solution is distinctly diagrammatic and just looks so much better. The bold line colors cased in black really pop out of the sombre blue and grey background and are easier to follow as result. Some slight tweaking of the official colours has been made, especially to the Soundview route, which is much lighter than the official dark purple. Perhaps this makes the Rockaway and Soundview colours a bit too similar, but some tinkering could fix that pretty easily.

Labelling is generally good, though perhaps I would have stacked the Pier 11/Wall St label just to keep it well away from the St. George route line. The Brookfield Place Terminal and Corlears Hook labels are the only other area of worry: it might be possible to slide Brookfield Place a little further to the left to get a bit more empty space between the two labels.

Of particular note is that even though this is a schematic diagram, Evelyn has implied the long haul out to Rockaway without having to take up huge amounts of empty space in doing so – great work!

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I personally don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t like on ferry maps is too many sharp curves – ferries don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t make tight 90-degree turns out on the water, but big, lazy arcs. So the section from Astoria to Roosevelt Island to Long Island City – a whole bunch of stacked 90-degree angles – bothers me on both versions of the map. I feel there has to be a solution that looks more naturalistic: maybe the route uses curves similar to those at the Brooklyn Navy Yard stop at Roosevelt Island, just to break up the rigidness of that part of the route?

Other things I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see: some sort of dash on the Governors Island (note that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no apostrophe in the name!) route line to immediately indicate its seasonal nature. The Staten Island Ferry – no, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a NYC Ferry route, but it absolutely🔸澳洲幸运10预测 should be shown as an alternative for the travelling public. Finally, I believe that a route from Pier 11 to Coney Island will be launching before the end of the year, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s be great to see a version that incorporates that.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Compact, bright, and more than a little bit fun. Really, really nice work!

Waxholmsbolaget is a big ferry operator in Stockholm, connecting most of the small islands in the Stockholm archipelago. They have recently updated their line map to a very diagrammatic style. The idea is good, to make it easier to find the lines and where you are going, but it massively distorts the network and the omission of geographic features makes it very difficult to orient yourself. What do you think?

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

I commented briefly on this diagram on Twitter last week, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll record my thoughts here in a little more detail as well.

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, it looks to me like the design of this diagram has been heavily influenced by the current Stockholm rail network diagram (PDF link), as it uses similar typography, design elements and symbology. The deep blue background col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划is a nice touch (and an improvement over the flat grey of the rail diagram), as is the way that the route/timetable numbers are presented on little nautical pennants. Overall, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s very nicely designed – it has a solid set of design rules that have been applied consistently as well as a comprehensive legend and annotations on the map.

Despite all these positives, I just don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think the diagram actually really works for trip planning. As Matias says, the massive distortion of the network and the lack of any geographical cues makes it very difficult for a reader to orient themselves. In reality, the network is much taller than it is wide, spread out as it is along Sweden🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s eastern coastline, but the diagram is landscape instead of portrait. Any sense of distance or spatial relationship between the different stops is lost completely. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also the whole problem of what actually constitutes a “route” in the context of this diagram, but that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s better dealt with in this Reddit thread, which has a similar view of this diagram and its usefulness.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worth noting that the previous map was fully geographical, and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not sure that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the right solution either. It gives a much better idea of how the system physically fits together, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lot of empty, wasted space as well. Maybe a hybrid simplified map with the more complex areas enlarged somewhat for clarity would be a good compromise?

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Looks very stylish, but is it actually useful? I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d say not, and I have my doubts about a full “subway diagram” design like this being appropriate for a complex ferry network like this.

Hamburg, Germany🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s line map always strikes me as one of the most ugly maps depicting a major transit network – one can understand if the ones made for small town bus networks are not up to the design standard of the upper echelons like Moscow or the like, but a city like Hamburg having such a bad map is just strange.

The convoluted knot of lines around the main station make it really hard to properly layout the lines and it took me an immense amount of time to make it look halfway decent; the fact that it has two trunk lines does not help.

I added the actual station building with the iconic iron arches and in my opinion, it helps a bit with orientation, especially looking at the “Hbf Nord” and “Hbf Süd” Metro stops that are neither really north or south of the place in real life.

Further additions are, of course, a tiny Elbphilhaarmonie with the corresponding ferry line from Landungsbrücken, walking interchange indications with distance and approximate walking time, overall more harmonic spacing, and many more small things.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lot of things I really like about this map: the 3D Hauptbahnhof and the way the lines run “through” it is nothing short of inspired, and everything is very neatly and evenly laid out. But there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one big problem with it that shows what a balancing act a really great transit map really is – if one thing isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t right, then the whole design can be thrown out of balance.

Simon has employed a distinctive white dash for each station, which in turn needs a background of sufficient darkness for these dashes to show up properly. However, that dark grey background then reduces the contrast between it and the route lines and labels, especially in the darker inner AB tariff zone. The green S1 and teal U4 lines are very recessive against the background, and the cyan label for the Elbphilhaarmonie ferry stop gets swallowed up almost completely. Most of the other colours fare somewhat better – the dark green S11 works much better than the mid-green S1, for example – so the solution could just be adjusting colours to improve the contrast to an acceptable level. It may also be possible to lighten the grey backgrounds just a tad and still use the white station markers, which I do quite like.

A couple of other notes: For me, the canals that join the Alster to the Elbe – while technically correct – are a little too busy and fussy and could perhaps be eliminated, especially as the rest of the river is so clean and stylised. The inclusion of walking distances between nearby stations and landmarks is a welcome addition, though.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Contrast between elements is hugely important, and this otherwise excellent map needs a bit of work to improve matters in that department.

However, the recent successful revision of my Interstate Highways as Subway Diagram🔸澳洲幸运10预测 convinced me that I could use that design language to reinvigorate this old project – and I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely been successful! View the map in the window below – you can zoom in and out, pan around, and also go full screen. Or, you can also click here to experience the map in a full browser window.

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things first: this is unapologetically a diagram🔸澳洲幸运10预测, not a map. The whole idea here was to fit as much of the network legibly into a square canvas as I could, which means that Eastern Europe and Russia get compressed horizontally – a lot🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The Black Sea becomes taller than it is wide, and Turkey gets reduced to a fraction of its actual width. A comparison to the official United Nations map of the network (below) drives home just how large and empty the eastern part of the map would be without this compression (and how cramped Western Europe would be in comparison!), so I think some distortion is a fair price to pay.

A sidenote for those wondering how colours are assigned to the routes. The UNECE document that defines the network defines roads with numbers divisible by 5 (E-5, E-10, E-15, etc.) as “main roads”. These are generally the longest, and help define the shape of the overall network. These roads have been given bright, subway map-like colours in order to reflect their relative importance. All other routes are “intermediate roads”, and are given a subsidiary grey colour. Even-numbered routes (generally running east-west) are slightly darker than odd-numbered routes in order to tell them apart.

Looking back on the original map, there were definitely a few areas that I concentrated on for improvement this time around.

First, I designed the diagram to fit a specific canvas. Back in 2010, I just drew until I was done, and then added the final dimensions at the end to suit what I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d drawn. And it shows: there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a big empty area of ocean to the left, and the whole thing just feels a bit unbalanced. This time around, I purposefully set out to make the diagram fit into a square canvas – and at the end, it fitted exactly as I had planned: no rescaling of elements or moving things around to make it fit. You can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t ask for better than that!

Secondly, I worked much harder at spacing elements more evenly across the whole map to miminise large empty areas. The same underlying 96-point grid that I used on my Interstates diagram informed a lot of my decisions here, which definitely gives more visual rhythm to the composition. Reducing Scandinavia🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s overall size helped a lot, as it visually dominated the old version; as did moving Moscow further north (to somewhere approximating its spatially correct place).

Next: typography. The 2010 version used the ubiquitous and oh-so-dull Myriad Pro Condensed, simply because it was pretty much the only typeface I had at the time that was a) condensed enough to work on the map, and b) had a full range of characters to support the Eastern European and Turkish place names on the map. Now, just as my new Interstates diagram employs the official U.S. highway roadsign typeface “Interstate”, the new E-Roads diagram uses TERN – a typeface family developed by Erik Spiekermann for use on highway roadsigns in Europe. So far, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only been adopted in Austria and Slovakia, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still a very🔸澳洲幸运10预测 appropriate choice for a diagram of European highways! Erik actually sent me this font family in return for a PDF of the original version of this diagram back in 2010, so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m thrilled to be finally using it in this update! Comparatively, the labels are also set quite a bit bigger now, something I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m very happy about.

Because everything was fitting into place so well, I wanted to see if I could include secondary labels for place names if that country used a different alphabet – and that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s where I ran into some problems. While TERN supports Greek characters and has a wide range of diacritics, it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t go any further east – no Cyrillic, and certainly no Georgian, Armenian, etc. In the end, I set most of these secondary labels in Fira Sans Compressed – it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not an identical match, but as it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a Spiekermann-designed typeface, it bears many of the same design hallmarks and does the job pretty well. Some hunting around on the Internet revealed some appropriate fonts for the few labels that had to be set in more esoteric character sets. All these secondary place names have all just been pasted in from the relevant Wikipedia entries, so I hope there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no errors (please tell me if there are!). Secondary names are also included in Gaelic for Ireland and Scotland, and in Welsh for Wales – just for fun. I did toy with the idea of showing the “alternate” names for cities in Belgium – the French names in Flanders, and the Dutch names in Wallonia – but that just seemed too fussy in the end.

Other improvements: I massively simplified the coastline this time around to be more in-keeping with the idea that this is a simplified diagram. There were definitely parts with way🔸澳洲幸运10预测 too much detail before! With one exception*, islands only appear if they have cities connected to the network on them – so no Balearic Islands or Cyprus or Isle of Man or random islands in the fjords of Norway. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve also made the visual distinction between routes across water that are actually served by a ferry line (a thicker line), and those that are just hypothetical joining lines between two otherwise disconnected points along a given route (thinner lines). I imagine that some of these could change in the future: until fairly recently, you could🔸澳洲幸运10预测 catch a ferry from Odesa, Ukraine to Samsun, Turkey across the Black Sea, but not at this moment in time.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t expecting at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划was new extensions to some of the routes! E-16 used to run from Londonderry/Doire to Oslo, but now it runs all the the way across the Scandinavian peninsula to end at Gävle in Sweden. E-45 has been extended north from Karesuando in Sweden to pass through Finland and end at Alta, Norway. And finally, E-66 now completes something of a bypass of Budapest, running east and north of its old terminus at Székesfehérvár to now end at Szolnok. I was able to incorporate all of these amendments with a minimum of fuss, and I also double-checked and refined the intermediate routing of some roads for better accuracy than the previous version. I noticed that Google and Bing Maps have decided to extend E-86 into Albania from Greece, but I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find any official documentation of this change – its western terminus remains as Krystallopigi for now.

As always, y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts, comments and corrections are welcome! What do you think of the new interactive presentation of the diagram? Let me know in the comments below!

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Note: * The one exception is the Isle of Wight, because the dent in the south coast of England up to Southampton (the Solent) just looked silly without it.

Hi Cameron! I was just browsing through y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划review archives and saw that the last time you covered Prague was in 2012 [A variety of maps were reviewed back then: full service, overview and “just right” Metro and tram – Cam]. Recently the transit authority PID (Pražská integrovaná doprava, Prague integrated transportation) released a map of a never before seen scale that I thought you might be interested in checking out. It’s displayed at information stands near metro station entrances and passengers can pick up free prints from the main railroad station. What’s unique about this map is that it includes absolutely all transit routes managed by PID (universal branding and a united fare system applies) within the limits of Prague: metro, trams, buses as well as commuter trains — and the main focus is on service frequency rather than vehicle type, which I find extremely useful. It also demonstrates the nature of a truly integrated transit system, which, for a transit advocate like me, is quite amazing! I was really wondering what y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion on this map would be as I was personally super impressed by the author’s attention to detail (train tunnels are particularly lovely). Greetings from the Czech Republic… and keep up the amazing work! I always enjoy reading y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划reviews.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Detailed maps like these are often hard to review, because I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m looking at a PDF on a screen instead of on a large printed sheet as intended by the designer – this map is meant to be on an A1 sheet (841 x 594mm or about 33.1 x 23.4 inches), so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s big🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

That said, my overall impression is that this is a comprehensive and detailed map of services in and around Prague, a commendable effort indeed. The three Metro lines are thick and bright and underpin the rest of the map – I like the use of the Metro🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s distinctive “M-arrow” logo as station markers: it really helps further differentiate these lines from everything else. The other city services – tram, trolleybus, bus, ferry and funicular – are only differentiated by frequency, with thicker lines meaning “more often”. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no definition of actual frequency given in the legend, so the concept can only be taken as a general indication of how often things run. A secondary legend down the bottom right indicates what numbers each service type uses (1–26 for trams, 50–68 for trolleybuses, and three-digit numbers for buses), which is very handy to know. I also like the icons for the different transit modes!

While the map is intentionally and necessarily detailed, I do feel it can become overly fussy in a few places. For example, the map shows all the curves in the road that the tram lines take north of Malostranská Metro station – a particularly hilly part of town just below Prague Castle – but all it does is obscure the Metro line beneath it. Given a choice between showing the actual routing of lines and simplifying the design so that paths can be followed more easily, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d prefer the latter in most cases. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m undecided about the white areas in the background of the map to denote populated areas: I can see why it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been done, but it makes the whole map look a bit patchy. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be interested to see a version where the inner PID zone is an all white background with the outer zone light grey – I think it would help to make the map look a bit less busy and draw attention to that central area bit more.

On a similar note, I think that raster effects are a bit overused throughout the map: water, parks, zone boundaries, bridges and more all use some kind of inner glow or drop shadow and it can get distracting, especially where two different glows interact with each other. I personally think the glow edges on the parks could be done away with to make the whole map a bit flatter and more graphical.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: An impressive attempt at a unified transit map for greater Prague. Perhaps a little too busy and fussy in parts, but could be great if it was simplified and streamlined a bit. Three-and-a-half stars!

The lockdowns have given many people ample opportunities to put their creativity to the test. For me – a lover of public transport, maps and 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划planet’s northern fringes – it was only a matter of time before the Faroe Islands would pop up once again. A tantalisingly beautiful place with an equally beautiful public transport system. A system of simplicity in a geography so gorgeous.

This map is a clear breakaway from the existing map, which you reviewed back in 2013 (3 stars – Cam). I stepped away from the angular style and instead chose the curly windy way. It also includes one key city bus route that is part of the national network. Text boxes on road planning imply that this map is not to be used for travellers, but time-travellers: it advocates the public transport mind-set in urban planning, in a country where car is king.

The map features a selection of wild proposals and some wilder projects currently under construction. Two sub-sea tunnels are currently in the making, of which particularly the Eysturoyartunnilin (opening soon) is a game changer. It paves the final link in the country’s population centre, stretching from capital Tórshavn over to Runavík and second-city Klaksvík. Trips to the capital will see cuts of half an h🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划up to 50 minutes, on journeys that currently take 70 minutes.

A cast-iron law in geography has it that 🔸澳洲开奖 distances halve, interaction doubles. The tunnel will not only reroute traffic (substitution effect) but also create new journeys (induced demand). Obviously there needs to be potential for increased interaction, but the flight of suburbanisation, the ever-increasing pressure on the housing market, and new activity around Runavík are telling. This will put the traffic system under pressure and offers the🔸澳洲幸运10预测 window to upgrade the current bus system. A frequent, high-quality, storm-proof network with hourly connections is possible in the Tórshavn-Klaksvík axis. At a set headway of every 60 minutes, the routes in this axis form the backbone of the network.

New colours, a new shape, a new network. The result of an experiment basically, to see how the curly concept would work, and in the process this plan grew around it. Not intended for the (armchair) tourist, but for a local audience. So 澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测, what🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划verdict?

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Regardless of how “wild” these proposals might be, this is a gorgeous🔸澳洲幸运10预测 map and I applaud Renno for making it. This is exactly the type of thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m talking about 🔸澳洲开奖 I say that maps that show a vision of the future have to be inspirational and dynamic to get people excited to see that vision become a reality. The bright, bold, curved route lines work perfectly in that regard: stylised and stylish, but still linked just enough to the geography of the islands to be recognisable. The frequency of routes is easily discerned by line thickness and the overall visual effect is very pleasing.

The call out boxes are filled with useful information about the projects, though perhaps they could be a little larger for legibility🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sake. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s plenty of room in the open ocean areas to enlarge them.

My biggest complaint (and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still pretty minor) is the drop shadow used on the islands: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s tonally very similar to the grey used for the islands themselves and seems to blur their outline in parts, especially towards the top of the map where there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s more small islands close to each other. I personally like to use a multiplied blue drop shadow for coastline, perhaps even with a thin keyline separating the land and shadow to keep the shape well defined.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 I love this – a beautifully executed vision of an ambitious future. 5/5 stars.

Note:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Renno wrote some further detailed background information for this project – I include it below for those who want to read further:

Why would people in this windswept place give public transport a chance? For y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划own benefit and to merit others. For individuals, it saves queuing, parking quests (and parking costs in the future?), tunnel tolls, and it turns the boring 11 km tunnel ride into social media time. This serves pupils and students at Glasir or Handilsskúlin, but also people who work in the capital. People who cannot drive can comfortably visit family or the hospital. Or safely have a drink in town. Meanwhile it enables Tórshavn people to commute to other schools, offices, shops and recreation areas just as easily.

Effective bus systems also reduces negative impacts of traffic on urban space. Tórshavn effectively is a huge car park for its daily stream of commuters. This means stationary metal consumes precious urban space for most of the day. Traffic also produces noise, air pollution and road safety concerns. A Park-and-Ride with frequent buses into town offer an alternative to travel the ‘last mile’.

Especially Hvítanes offers a triple A location for a P+R. All routes combined mount up to over 100 trips per day in each direction. At least 40 SSL buses use the new highway between SMS shopping centre and Hvítanes, while city buses tie all neighbourhoods up to the network every 10 minutes during daytime. Reliability is key. Buses must connect to each other and to all important places. It will get you where you want to go, 🔸澳洲开奖 you want to go. This requires synced timetables and guaranteed transfers.

There is more. Road and land-use planning must include public transport design. Buses do not like sharp turns or dead-ending streets. The straighter the route and the closer to where the people actually are, the more useful, and the more passengers. Short busways with ‘bus traps’ (bussslúsur) can form a connection between cul-de-sacs (blindgøtur), which normally block off and prevent efficient bus servicing, as collateral damage of keeping undesired cars out of the quiet streets. Bus stops along main roads should include footpaths to the residential areas. Highway exits should have bus stops for intercity buses to leave and re-enter the highway quickly. Shopping centres and regional schools require bus stations nearby. All of this is easy 🔸澳洲开奖 the iron is hot, but costs a fortune to mend later on.

The Faroe Islands are changing their society with the Eysturoyartunnilin, including mobility and land-use patterns. Towns are growing, útstýkkingar (public greenfield developments) all around, the number of cars doubled in two decades with no ‘flattening the curve’, tourism booming, and commuting a normal ritual of daily life. F🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划local bus systems have been installed in ten years and Tórshavn’s has expanded. Now it’s time for a vision for the future. Even small design flaws rule out effective mobility for decades to come. Far beyond the next elections.

This plan is NOT to say goodbye to the car, as cars are intrinsically linked to Faroese life. Instead, public transport has the chance to decelerate growth of extra traffic. For those people driving the same trip to Tórshavn day in day out, it can provide a real alternative. Either for the full trip or part of it. On a daily basis or occasionally. With benefits for yourself, y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划children or other people in the community. Now and in the future.

The Eysturoyartunnilin is the🔸澳洲幸运10预测 moment to plan the future. Let’s brainstorm, let’s sketch, let’s explore. Would Skálatrøð square still be necessary as a car park, if there’s every 60 minutes a bus directly from Skálafjørður? And every 30 minutes from Kollafjørður? And every 10 minutes from Hvítanes?

This was found via the /r/BayArea subreddit. It appears to be an authentic transit map from September 1981 still hanging in the 12th Street Oakland City Center BART station! It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s published by an entity I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never heard of called the “Regional Transit Association.” On y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve previously seen a very clumsy and messy map that attempted to show the myriad transit systems of the Bay, including rail and connecting buses. This is a cleaner, very diagrammatical map that limits itself to rail and some of the major buses that are either very frequent or provide a key connection to areas not served by BART. The wide lines remind me of the Washington Metrorail map as well. The Bay Area would be served well by a modernized version of the map as there is none today that cleanly shows a comprehensive transit network. Would love to get 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 “fat line” style of transit diagram was very much in vogue in the late 1970s/early 1980s, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s really no surprise to find some similarities between this map and the (slightly earlier) Washington Metro map. For me at least, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a little bit of the original Boston MBTA spider map here, especially in the way that the branches of the Muni streetcar lines are treated – looking a lot like the simplified branches of the Green Line in Boston.

Handel Gothic, the typeface used for the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s title (and groovy logo) is a little at odds with the more restrained “minimalist” Helvetica employed elsewhere, but it was a popular display typeface at the time, often used to invoke a “futuristic” feeling. Note especially the ligature made out of the “NN” in “CONNECTIONS” – now there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s🔸澳洲幸运10预测 some great early 80s typography!

The map itself is an interesting historical record, showing BART🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s extent in 1981 (only built to Daly City down the peninsula, for example) and the “Caltrans Peninsula Train”, which is Caltrain in everything but name. Many of these regional connections are very similar to what still exists today, which is interesting to see.

Designwise, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a bit uneven – it has some nicely simplified route lines and clear labelling, but the coastline of the Bay is way too fussy and detailed, especially the north-eastern part. The way the green Santa Clara County Transit line gets pushed out of alignment by the SamTrans line at Menlo Park is pretty sloppy. The inset for downtown San Francisco doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really do that good of a job at clarifying things: one feels that all the empty space in the Pacific Ocean could have been better used to enlarge the inset and make it more useful.

The last word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A great historical document, although the design work is a little less polished than it could have been. It definitely seems to be emulating other 澳洲10开官网开奖 of the period, though with perhaps slightly less effect. Still a pretty solid three stars.

Recently I was back in Auckland, after not having been there for years. I discovered that my parents have never caught the bus there; this is despite them living close to reasonable bus routes, and – as senior citizens – having free public transport most of the time. (They are not against public transport; they are just migrants who were never shown how to look up public transport information.) So I tried to get them interested in catching the bus, “You can get to and from home for FREE!”, and I drew them an A4 schematic map of the public transport services in their world.

The map is geared towards just these two people. (I should have done it in my parents🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 languages, but… I was basically too lazy to do it in languages other than English.) During my time with them I observed the range of places that they might need to go to, and facilities that they might need, e.g. medical facilities, closer-by shopping centres, public toilets. I have only included lines that they are likely to need, as I didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t want to clutter the map any further. (For other lines, they can look them up in the official network maps.)

How much each transport hub/station is visually accentuated in the map is based more on its saliency in their lives, and less on its actual size. As for the line colours, I followed the line colours as used by Auckland Transport, so sometimes I could not avoid placing lines with similar colours next to each other. (As for the train lines, I used hues from an older version of the official train network map, to make them somewhat more distinctive from the adjacent bus line colours.) Frequency of the services is indicated by line width and dash style. The apartness of the bus versus train lines at Newmarket and Sylvia Park is iconic of their actual distance. There are also two small circular areas of which the representations are geographically true, and all the bus stops within are shown: these are areas where they need to know the exact location of bus stops.

(They were very happy 🔸澳洲开奖 I took them on buses, trains, and the ferry, all of them free to them off-peak.)

This is such a heart-warming story, Hilário — thank you for sharing it! Being able to take y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划design skills and create something so personal and useful to y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划parents, giving them the confidence to use public transport in their daily lives… it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s just wonderful (I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not crying, you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re🔸澳洲幸运10预测 crying!).

What I particularly like is the amount of tailored information that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s there just for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划parents: where they get haircuts, where the shops are, where public restrooms can be found, as well as all the hints and tips aimed at helping them find their way confidently. The two detailed insets have just the right amount of information and are integrated into the main map nicely. I also really appreciate that the map isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t over-designed: this isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t some fancy piece of high art, but a simple, easy-to-read tool that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s completely appropriate for its (very specific) target market.

Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an interesting little infographic (clearly based off the official Translink map) that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s making the rounds on Reddit/Twitter/etc. at the moment, showing average weekday ridership on rapid transit in Vancouver, British Columbia. Created by u/Mobius_Peverell on Reddit with “Excel, GIMP, and two afternoons” (in their own words), it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s quite a striking graphic. It definitely shows the dominance of the SkyTrain, and the Canada Line in particular. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s important to note that the 99 B-Line, running from UBC to Commercial-Broadway, is in fact the busiest bus route in either Canada or the United States, with an average weekday ridership of over 56,000 passengers – it just looks small in comparison to the even busier SkyTrain lines.

If there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one improvement I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d make to this graphic, it would be the inclusion of some ridership and/or boarding numbers on the map itself. Yes, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a scale at the top, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not easy to transfer that down to the map itself with any accuracy. The dot sizing for each station🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s boarding is particularly hard to calculate mentally. As it is, the graphic lets you compare general ridership trends, but not the actual numbers behind those trends.

Compare to this 1954 flow diagram of subway lines in Manhattan, where all the data is shown directly on the map.
