I would like to share the TRAM d🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页Alacant fare zone map. It describes the different zones and stops of this tramway/narrow gauge train in the Spanish province of Alacant (Alicante). It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been reopened recently after six years of renovation works.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a fairly solid diagram that shares a lot of design language with the transit map of Valencia (reviewed in July 2022). This is perhaps understandable, as it seems that the Generalitat Valenciana has at least overseen the design of both maps. Like Valencia, the main urban area (Zone A) has been expanded in relation to the rest of the map, which is basically one corridor running up the coast to Dénia some 45 miles/70 kilometres away. The city is similarly represented more geographically, while the outer reaches are diagrammatic with evenly spaced stations from one end to the other.

Line 3 (Yellow) acts a local service for Line 1 (Red), which runs express within the urban limits of Alacant most🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the time – the legend explains that 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and last trains each day on Line 1 stop at all stations. This is indicated by the red line being visible through the white “shared station” symbol, which I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find particularly intuitive – I wonder whether a dot on Line 3 with a longer tick line crossing Line 1 would have been more effective?

I have two main issues with this otherwise competent diagram. First, the representation of the coastline is overly fussy and poorly drawn. Do we need the little bumps near Benidorm? Or the wharf (or whatever the heck that is) near Calp? And if it is somehow important to show the port/marina area in Alacant itself, then show it properly🔸澳洲幸运10预测, instead of cutting it off at the bottom of the canvas. The non-standard angles at the top of the diagram used to represent Cap Martí drive me insane.

Secondly, the legend looks like an afterthought just thrown down wherever. As with the Valencia map, the legend inexplicably gets broken up by a zone boundary 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s plenty of room to fit it all within Zone B🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s space. The typesetting is also poor – some entries have a very long 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划line (longer than an optimal reading length) and then a very short second line. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be much better to balance those lines evenly to create a more compact, readable block of text. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m also a proponent of always starting a new line with each change of language, instead of running them one after another on a single line – it just makes it explicit that a change is taking place.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Competent enough, but let down by some strangely unpolished design choices with the coastline and legend. Does the job.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve been browsing the maps you have about my city, Madrid, and I noticed the map you have for the Renfe Cercanías network, the commuter rail in Madrid, is not up-to-date. The changes aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t huge, but the network does operate under substantially different patterns. I would really appreciate it if you took some time to check out the most modern version of the diagram.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

It has been a while since we looked in on Madrid🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s commuter rail diagram (see the previous review from June 2013 here), but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not really enamoured of this new version at all – for a few reasons, not all of which are design-related.

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– this diagram is sloppy and messily drawn. The gap between adjacent route lines is wildly variable (check out the C-1 and C-7 lines as they round the bend south of Principe Pio station), and the fussy jogs in the lines through Sol and Méndez Alvaro stations just look awful and amateurish. There are better approaches to depicting these stations than these half-baked attempts if just a little thought was to be applied.

I find the zone boundaries are even more busy and distracting than they were before, as the contrast between the alternating zones has been increased – they really do come across as zebra stripes now. There has to be a way to either radically simplify the shapes of the zones or forego them in fav🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of a zone designation label at each station, because this approach is now bordering on the absurd.

The thinner route lines and standardised station markers unfortunately make this diagram considerably more generic that the older map. While that map shares some of the same problems that this new one has, its unique design style compensated for those flaws quite a bit.

The non-design related problem with this diagram? The fact that this tiny 1200-pixel wide PNG of it is the only🔸澳洲幸运10预测 available version of it on Renfe🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s website – no PDF or even a higher-resolution image. Much of the smaller detail is difficult to make out and I wish you luck trying to read the legend at all! Delivering passenger information like this in 2022 is completely unacceptable and really needs to be looked at – and not just by Renfe, as plenty of other transit agencies still use raster images that are too small or overly compressed on their websites.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Urgh. A huge backwards step in this diagram🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s evolution. Poorly drawn and delivered.

I just wanted to share with you the 168澳洲十开奖网 of the buses (MetroBus) that link the city of Valencia (Spain) with towns of its 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 area. Map by the Valencia 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Transport Authority (ATMV).

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Oh dear. This is… bad🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

MetroBus (a collective term for all the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 buses run by various operating companies in and around Valencia) operates over 100 routes, but you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be hard pressed to see that from this desultory diagram.

For a start, there are no route numbers🔸澳洲幸运10预测 on the map at all, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s almost impossible to do any kind of route planning. And then there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the different col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划coding for the routes, which has no apparent or useful meaning because the map doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t have a legend.

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s absolutely no reason for any🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the stop labels on this map to be set at an angle, and yet so many are. The label for El Saler doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t even sit on its route line, missing it by a good margin.

What exactly happens to the routes 🔸澳洲开奖 they enter Valencia itself? The map seems to imply they all just suddenly terminate near the edge of Zone A, but I seriously doubt that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the reality of the situation.

A very minor positive: the zones are at least drawn relatively competently and aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t too distracting. I like the way that the zone letters are stacked neatly down the right edge of the map.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Seems almost half-finished. Almost completely useless for any form of route planning.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to submit an 168澳洲十开奖网 of public transport in Wrocław, Poland. The network consists of 23 tram lines, 61 city bus lines and 18 suburban bus lines. The most interesting is the circle tram line 0 which in fact is divided into two lines 0L (counter-clockwise) and 0P (clockwise). Inside the city of Wrocław it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also possible to travel by train having a city🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s public transport ticket.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Fitting over 20 tram lines and almost 80 bus lines into a compact canvas like this is an almost impossible task, so you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve got to admire the herculean effort made here. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s undoubtedly difficult to use: there are only two colours for routes (magenta for trams and blue for buses) and you have to find and then painstakingly follow route numbers across the map. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one of my least favourite methods for marking routes, and this execution certainly doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t change my mind.

Unsurprisingly, the map gets quite cramped in places, and the labelling suffers a bit because of it – though I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve definitely seen worse. Some good design discipline has been used to set up the major route axes of the map along 30°/60° angles, though the effect is somewhat spoiled by the dashed green fare zone boundary, which weaves its way drunkenly around the edge of the map. It even takes a little det🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划around some explanatory text at the bottom centre, which I find strangely amusing. The main rail lines are also drawn in a different style, taking naturalistic curves through the city. It does set them apart from the bus and tram lines, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also stylistically a little jarring.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 A diagram like this might just work in the hands of a skilled designer like Jug Cerovic, but this attempt falls short for me.
