Attached is a diagram/sort-of 🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网 I recently made showing all the various rail services and connections in San Francisco. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never been a fan of how Muni shows service connections on their 168澳洲十开奖网 – BART is typically included, though never Caltrain, nor BART🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s connection to the airport, which I think is a fairly important to have.

I also decided to include the F Market & Wharves street car line, which while not connected that seamlessly to the rest of the Muni “metro” system, still serves as an important line for commuters in the city. Also included is the upcoming central subway expansion on the T Third Street line, which brings the line north into downtown with new underground stops north of market street.

Finally, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worth noting that this map depicts Muni🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s service patterns prior to all of the various COVID cuts, with all light rail lines continuing downtown under Market Street.

This was the map of any sort that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve made, done as a challenge to myself to see if I could even do such a thing. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m pretty happy with how it turned out (or honestly more shocked I was even able to get it done).

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Welcome to the wonderful world of transit map making, Griffin!

This is a good, solid effort that builds upon the existing Muni style to include more unified transit information for travellers, which is pretty much always a good thing. Showing BART all the way down to San Francisco International Airport is a great idea, so well done there. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be nice to perhaps show the SamTrans “SFO” bus from the airport terminals to Milbrae (which are timed to connect with Caltrain services) just to provide a more complete picture of transit options at the airport, but that may be outside the scope of a rail diagram like this.

If there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an area that does🔸澳洲幸运10预测 need work, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the labelling of stations. Even though the official Muni Metro map does it, I will never🔸澳洲幸运10预测 be in fav🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of labels that are the same col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划as the line they serve – there simply isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t enough contrast between yellow text and a white background to be easily readable, for example. The different colours used also make the map look disjointed and give visual preference to darker labels. All the labels represent a station, so they should all have the same importance in the diagram🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hierarchy. Pick one dark hue with sufficient contrast to the background – it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t have🔸澳洲幸运10预测 to be black, as the London Underground map shows – and stick with it throughout.

Similarly, I just can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t endorse labels set all in lower-case. Just don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t. Proper capitalisation of place names aids readability, and looks so much better.

Also, work a bit on the placement of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划labels relative to the stations they serve – be consistent with how far away they are and whether they sit above/below or alongside the station symbol. The label for the SF Zoo at the end of the L-Taraval line seems to be floating in empty space, for example.

Finally, this isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really a comment on this map but on the whole Market Street arrangement of services, with the F streetcars running on the surface, the Muni Metro cars on the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划underground level and BART at the bottom – all requiring some kind of transfer between them. Is this level of detail – splitting all these services up into discrete “boarding areas” joined by a connecting transfer line – necessary on a map like this, or is the detail as shown here okay? It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s something to ponder…

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划last word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A very solid 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划effort (I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve seen plenty of unified San Francisco rail maps that aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t as good as this), though some love could be given to the labelling to make it even better.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸Fantasy Future Map: North Atlantic Rail System by Nick Fabiani🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/north-atlantic-rail-nick-fabiani/ https://transitmap.net/north-atlantic-rail-nick-fabiani/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2021 05:05:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=13324 Submitted by Nick, who writes:

Hi Cameron — hope you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re staying well these days. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m pleased to submit two maps I made to capture the North Atlantic Rail System. The system is a proposed high-speed rail network to connect New England🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s major hubs. In my map, I imagine it connecting to and interacting with the existing CT Rail, MBTA Commuter Rail, and Amtrak systems throughout the region. Taken in totality, you see a much more transitable version of New England. (I also added in some other proposed upgrades and extensions, like the Danbury Branch to New Milford).

This map obviously has some Vignelli inspirations, and this presented some unique challenges. Major termini (like Boston🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s stations, but New Haven, Hartford, and Springfield as well) become unwieldy quickly with so many lines converging. I also ran into a number of perpendicular transfer points that can lead to awkward and messy solutions. I think I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve resolved these about as well as can be — just primarily by how easy it is to scan and understand which lines go where — but I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know if I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d ever be entirely pleased by some of these transfer points. And I unfortunately had to include some angled text; I tried to ameliorate my own issues with angled text by ensuring all angled text points in the same direction (so nobody would have to flip their head back and forth) and by being thoughtful on where and how it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s deployed.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划map (below) is what I call the “System Diagram.” This map helps you visualize coverage, but places extra emphasis on being able to quickly understand how to get from Point A to Point B — while considering all needed transfer points — over everything else, and sacrifices some readability and ease of use.

If the other version is a “System Diagram,” I called the second one a “Coverage Diagram.” Unlike the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划version, this one sacrifices a good deal of usability — there are a number of places where the need for a transfer, for instance, is obfuscated — but presents a much more legible view of the system. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s now far easier to scan through and get a sense of the full system and where it goes.

In addition to y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on these two maps, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be interested on y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on which presents the greatest utility for the average user. Perhaps the second version, while simpler, is better — unlike a subway system, the average user won🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t be making travel decisions by a map these days! Or perhaps the full system diagram better conveys the breadth of options available. They both obviously have their own usefulness, but exploring the differences was a fun part of this project.


澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

These are both really good diagrams, Nick – definitely evocative of the Vignelli style, and nicely executed. I like the slightly muted col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve used: the green, purple, and red work really nicely with each other and the light yellow background. The blue water is perhaps a little dark for my liking, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not too bad. And I really appreciate that you took the time to explore both design alternatives here: this is how we grow as designers!

Some comments that are applicable to both maps before we move on to the question of which is “better”. Overall, these are very solid, though I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d really like to see larger labels throughout. Y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划canvas is a 36 inch square, and y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划main station labels are set in 10-point with secondary labels are as small as 6-point. In my experience, this is a little too small to be readable at a reasonable distance 🔸澳洲开奖 printed out. Obviously, fixing this would require quite a lot of work to respace the map – enlarging the Boston area to accommodate the bigger labels and probably moving it up a bit to get rid of some of that empty space at the top right of the map would be my priority. The more rural areas can get compressed a bit to compensate. Even getting the labels up to 12-point would make a big difference, I think. And I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d come up with a different solution to labels for lines leaving the edge of the map: having tiny labels set within🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the route line is always going to be too small to be useful.

So, which of the two diagrams works better? While I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m always an advocate of a diagram or map showing each route in its entirety from beginning to end, I think you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re right in saying it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t matter too much for this type of diagram. Network coverage is probably all a prospective rider needs to see, and it definitely presents a simpler, cleaner overview of the network. That🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not to say that I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve done a good job with those major interchange stations on the system diagram, because you totally have. I think there is room to remove some of the ambiguity on the coverage map about routing for the Providence to Worcester Atlantic Rail line by separating it out more like the system map so that it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t look like you can catch a train all the way from New York to Worcester: the radial or separated nature of the rest of the Atlantic Rail lines makes it pretty clear where they all go.

What do you think, readers? Do you have thoughts on which approach is more successful? Leave a comment below.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Kudos for taking the time to explore different design options! Get those labels up a bit bigger and these are both really solid diagrams!

🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网: Chicago Transit Future by Michael Tyznik🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/chicago-future-michael-tyznik/ https://transitmap.net/chicago-future-michael-tyznik/#respond Fri, 08 Jan 2021 16:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=12964

Showing an alternate future where everything in a 2014 proposal actually got built, this is without a doubt one of the best looking Chicago 澳洲10开官网开奖 I have ever seen – just lovely work from Michael. Many designers have tried to integrate the Loop into the main map instead of using an inset before, but rarely as successfully as this. Michaels🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 Loop fits the scale of the rest of the map really well, and just looks like it belongs🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

Despite being very information-dense (“L” lines, commuter rail lines and arterial bus routes all on one map!), everything feels very clean, spacious and well-organised. Col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划is used intelligently to emphasise hierarchy – bright colours for the “L”, muted pastels for commuter rail lines, and grey for the bus routes.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s all so good that I can even overlook a couple of my personal dislikes – labels set in the same col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划as the line they represent, and stations that are labelled multiple times – once for every service that terminates there. Sometimes you just have to let these things slide because the piece as a whole just works.

As a side note, how amazing🔸澳洲幸运10预测 would those crosstown “L” lines be if they actually existed, especially the O🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页Hare to Midway airport link? We can only hope and dream!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Just awesome. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only January and this may already be my favourite map of 2021.

Project: Denver Rail Network 2044 Spiral Map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/denver-2044-spiral-cameron-booth/ https://transitmap.net/denver-2044-spiral-cameron-booth/#comments Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:00:29 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=12196 I originally posted this map on Twitter, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m also putting it on the blog for posterity, as well as to fully detail the design decisions that went into it.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve long thought that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been a design opportunity with Denver rail maps for a large circular arc for the light rail stations running south around the edge of the downtown area out of Union Station. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve doodled with ideas over the years, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never found them particularly satisfying or aesthetically pleasing. There was always a disconnect between the curved sections and the regular orthogonal lines which stopped the map acting as a cohesive whole. Until finally, I thought: what if I did away with straight lines all together?🔸澳洲幸运10预测

It was certainly a concept well outside my comfort zone, as I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m very much used to working with straight lines and 45-degree angles. The relationship between elements is fairly easy for me to define 🔸澳洲开奖 working within these “regular” design rules, but curved lines are another whole world to me! I had to draw an intentionally loose working diagram with a Sharpie before I even started work on the computer to convince myself that this could even be done. The fat tip of the Sharpie prevented me from getting overly concerned with detail, allowing me to concentrate on the general form and flow of the map. One thing it showed me was that such a diagram was still basically topologically correct: all the lines ended up in the pretty much the right place relative to each other. Encouraged, I began!

Even with the sketch, it look me a few different versions before I finally hit upon a workable solution to my problem: spirals! Concentric circles were almost🔸澳洲幸运10预测 there, but created an ugly “peanut” shape in the middle of the map (which you can see in the working sketch), where I really wanted a smooth curve from Union Station all the way around to Peoria. Some trial-and-error gave me the right spiral decay required to achieve this and still leave room for station labelling, and then I set up a set of nested spirals for all the lines out of Union Station to act as master curves. From there, it was really just a matter of cutting the spirals at the right points and rotating/reflecting them to join back together correctly. In a way, I basically “unrolled” the spirals to go where I needed them to – along with a couple of shorter connecting curves where the lines change direction sharply (see the “G” and “W” lines). Spacing stations evenly along the curves provided a new challenge, but I was able to work out a system that gave pleasing results: there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lot more eyeballing and manual adjustment of labels to get things looking optically “right” than there is with standard 45-degree maps!

The downtown loop was probably the most challenging part of the map, and I almost chickened out and made those lines straight. However, I persevered and came up with a solution that allowed me to keep everything curvy while still staying somewhat true to the real-world alignment of things. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m especially pleased with the way that the “L” line swoops gracefully up to join the “A” line at 38th & Blake: it made this troublesome part worth the effort!

While I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m extremely happy with the finished product, there are still a few things that I can improve – not the least of which is learning to manipulate Bezier curves so that the end result looks more organic and a little less mathematical. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a real skill, and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not quite🔸澳洲幸运10预测 there yet. Some have commented that the map is incomplete without the downtown/mall shuttle buses and the Flatiron Flyer bus services to Boulder, and these concerns are completely valid. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not sure I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll ever address them, as I feel I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve done what I wanted to with this proof-of-concept map, but I hear you!

However, the map has generally been received quite well, which is pretty darn gratifying 🔸澳洲开奖 you take a left-field design approach. Some comments from Twitter are featured below: let me know what you think in the comments!

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸Un168澳洲十开奖网: Tel Aviv Metro 2040 by Alan Tanaman🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/tel-aviv-metro-2040-alan-tanaman/ https://transitmap.net/tel-aviv-metro-2040-alan-tanaman/#comments Tue, 08 Sep 2020 23:55:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=12144 Submitted by Alan, who says:

Still love reading y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog after all these years. The NTA has just released a new map for the Tel Aviv 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 area mass transit system. There are currently three light rail lines under construction (red, green, and purple), partly running underground, and due to be completed by 2026. A metro is planned for launch around 2040.

I felt that while the 168澳洲十开奖网 is not bad, it does not have a clear hierarchy between the two modes. It also lacked coherence with strange and inconsistent angles. On the plus side, the 168澳洲十开奖网 respects geography more than mine, and shows all the station names.

So I decided to knock together something of my own in Visio (yes, I know). The remit was to create a metro-focused map with 60 degree angles to create a triangular theme. The light rail lines are inserted around the metro layout. The theme comes at the expense of geographical fidelity.

Apologies that it is only in Hebrew at this point in time. The solid blobs are metro and underground light rail stations. The large hollow blobs are light rail stations that interchange with metro or rail. I decided not to label all the other light rail stations.

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thoughts.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Alan🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s done a pretty good job of self-analysing his own diagram above, and I agree on most of his points. I find his diagram superior to the 168澳洲十开奖网 in most respects: it may be more geographically correct, but it lacks visual punch and clarity. The lines just sort of wander across the canvas, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no real differentiation between the light rail lines and the Metro itself.

Alan🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 30/60 degree lines give coherence to the network and have a pleasing angularity to them that suits the Hebrew script used for the labels. The triangular shape made by the circumferential M3 is a particularly nice design element. Breaking the M1 and M3 up into separate lines to show their service patterns works well: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s especially good at showing that the service to the airport will operate as two-station branch line. Perhaps an airport icon like the 168澳洲十开奖网 employs could be useful?

Alan highlights what he sees as a major flaw of his own diagram: that the light rail lines only have labels for a few stations. However, as the focus of the diagram is to be “Metro-centric” (in Alan🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s own words), I think this is forgivable. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s enough information to work out how the two networks interchange with each other, and the Metro is given good emphasis over the light rail.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A lovely diagram, with some great compositional work and simplification. Nice work, Alan!

Un168澳洲十开奖网: Future Sydney Rail Network by u/Toweringhorizons🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/future-sydney-toweringhorizons/ https://transitmap.net/future-sydney-toweringhorizons/#respond Thu, 20 Aug 2020 03:05:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=12094 I just stumbled across this unofficial vision of Sydney🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s rail transit around the year 2030 or so (mainly because the discussion about it on Reddit was linking to old Sydney maps on my blog), and I have to say that I really quite like it.

The 30/60 angles actually suit the network really well, and set up some nice axes and patterns throughout the diagram. I especially like the way the Cumberland Line heads straight up to Richmond from Parramatta, and the way the Northern Line angles back up to rejoin the North Shore Line at Hornsby. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a pity that the M1 Metro line has to take that little realignment jog at Cherrybrook, because all the other Metro lines are so straight – the Marrickville to Bankstown section is very impressively handled. The City Circle as an actual circle works surprisingly well considering the angularity of the rest of the diagram.

The light rail lines are handled about as well as they can be at this scale: an indication that they exist and where they interchange with the suburban lines. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s unfortunate that the walking distance interchange at Lewisham isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t indicated, but I can see how that would cause difficulties. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be nice if the legend for the light rail could be incorporated with the rest of the map information down the right hand side of the diagram: it always looks a little disjointed 🔸澳洲开奖 there are legends scattered around the map, filling up empty space.

Some slight reconfiguring and realignment could improve the map even more: I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see even spacing for the station labels from Harris Park all the way down to Glenfield, instead of the way the labels tighten up from Canley Vale. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the opportunity for a nice horizontal axis across the map by aligning the centres of the Aerotropolis station marker with the horizontal section of the T3 through Carramar and Villawood with the Bankstown to Marrickville section of the M1 line (or perhaps the horizontal part of the T8 Airport line instead?).

Some of the labelling is a bit cramped: the Waterloo label is ambiguously placed, and the line service bullets are jammed up right underneath Lidcombe🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s label with no breathing room at all, for example. Overall, the North Shore and Illawarra lines seem more cramped than the rest of the map, though this may be unavoidable on the canvas used.

The codes for regional trains (BMT, CCN, etc.) don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t mean much by themselves: I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d prefer it if full names – Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Newcastle, etc. – were used along with some key destinations listed.

Finally, care needs to be taken 🔸澳洲开奖 designing a diagram with a dark background: the dark blue Illawarra Line has very little contrast with the background and probably needs to be lightened – possibly adjusting the T2🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s cyan col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划accordingly.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A confident and accomplished diagram, that really only needs some minor tweaking and quality control to be truly excellent. It definitely caught my attention! Three-and-a-half-stars!

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸A Vision for the Faroe Islands by Renno Hokwerda🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/faroe-islands-renno-hokwerda/ https://transitmap.net/faroe-islands-renno-hokwerda/#comments Mon, 25 May 2020 22:10:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=11853 Submitted by Renno, who says:

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?

Submission – Unofficial Future Map: San Diego Trolley by Ted Rosenbaum🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/san-diego-ted-rosenbaum/ https://transitmap.net/san-diego-ted-rosenbaum/#comments Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9902 Submitted by Ted, who says:

🔸澳洲开奖 the Mid-Coast extension opens in a couple years, San Diego🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s going to need a new trolley map. Their current map has some odd angles and no references to the city🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s geography, so I took a shot at a new diagram that fixes those issues. I used big looping curves to fit San Diego🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s more languid style, and make the connecting services more explicit. Would love to get y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on my attempt.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

An interesting take on San Diego🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s trolley network from Ted, which is quite good for the most part. I do like the wide, languid curves in the outer parts of the map, though it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a bit less successful downtown where it makes a bit of a “rugby ball” shape. This makes the Green/Blue line interchange at 12th & Imperial a bit confusing with overlapping route lines, and hides the fact that the Blue and Orange lines take an L-shaped route along Park Blvd and C Street, something the 168澳洲十开奖网 handles pretty well.

Inclusion of connecting bus services to the airport is a nice touch, as is including the regional rail services (Coaster and the Pacific Surfliner). I do believe that the Pacific Surfliner stopped calling at Sorrento Valley last October, so that needs to be fixed on the map. Also, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d call it the Amtrak🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Pacific Surfliner, rather than using the somewhat obscure LOSSAN name. While LOSSAN manages the service, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s branded as an Amtrak route and promoted to the public as such. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a little unfortunate that all the route lines in this part of the map are shades of blue, especially as they also cross over each other.

Inclusion of the coastline and the US/Mexico border is a good idea, though I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see the Pacific Ocean join up to both of the bays, rather than have them look like separate, unconnected bodies of water. Easier with Dan Diego Bay than Mission Bay, but I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be worth it.

🔸澳州10开奖记录: 1970 Map Showing Proposed Rio de Janeiro Metro in 1990🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/1970-rio-de-janeiro-metro-1990/ https://transitmap.net/1970-rio-de-janeiro-metro-1990/#comments Thu, 01 Aug 2019 23:25:05 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9905 A map from 1970, somenine years before the Metro opened, showing what the network was meant to look like in 1990. As things have turned out, not quite🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

Although the initial segment and the “Linha Prioritária” correspond very closely to the current Metro Line 1, and parts of the dashed “Linha 1” on the map correspond somewhat to the current Line 2, the remainder is very different indeed. A crossing to Niteroi on the other side of Guanabara Bay? An extension from Saens Peña out to Jacarepagua, and an orbital line from there to Penha? And the Metro in 2019 only has 41 stations compared to the projected 54… a very different future!

Hello! I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m a designer in 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 excited by all the new rail infrastructure being built here. I decided to make a map showing what the Metro network might look like in 30 years assuming generous transit funding. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划time designing a map this complex so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m definitely curious for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts.

The new lines are mostly built from pieces and combinations of current plans, including a finished California High-Speed Rail and a network of Bus Rapid Transit corridors. All told, this map existing would cost somewhere around $40 billion and mean 8 new capital projects, and expediting 5 projects that are currently planned for completion after 2050.

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 to like about Josh🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s map, both in its design and in its optimism for the future. The network of light grey dotted lines underneath the main routes — which I originally simply took as an indication of LA🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s street grid — indicates an extensive BRT network with 15-minute-or-less headways. In Josh🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s future, the California High-Speed Rail is fully built out, Metrolink is electrified, and there are just 16 gas stations left in all of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 County. Quite the vision!

Design-wise, the influence of the official LA Metro map and corporate identity is hard to ignore, but I think Josh has done well to adapt and improve upon it to accommodate his concept. The downtown area is particularly clear and easy to understand, even after the addition of the Regional Connector. Turning Union Station into its own large “infobox” is a particularly smart choice — it gives the most important part of the network more prominence on the nap, and it looks much neater than trying to cobble together a lot of connected interchange icons. I also like the more natural path that the so-called 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 River takes across the map: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s always seemed just a little too🔸澳洲幸运10预测 straight on the 168澳洲十开奖网 to me since they started including it.

Minor problems: the green “parkland” areas of the background seem a little dark and heavy, and the southern branch of the gold “E” line in East LA needs a curve as it exits Atlantic station to indicate which direction trains go in, specially for inbound services (do they go towards Union Station, or are they a shuttle to Peck? It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little ambiguous at the moment).

The final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Probably one of the nicest-looking “future LA” 澳洲10开官网开奖 I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve seen, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been a few of them! F🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划stars.
