The Sofia Metro is a not-so-big metro system in the capital of Bulgaria. Although I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not Bulgarian, nor live in Bulgaria, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve been there, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s quite nice. The following map is the latest one, from the opening of Line 3, on the 26th of August, this year. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s quite simple, but unlike the previous ones, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s far more consistent (as it uses the same angles, colors, stuff like that), and much more visually appealing. Any thoughts?

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Yes, this is a vast improvement over older Sofia Metro maps! To me, it looks like an evolution in design from the quasi-official version created and promoted by the Spazi Sofia🔸澳洲幸运10预测 NGO back in 2015 (review here – Cam). It uses the same icons for the points of interest, which suggests a shared parentage.

Overall, I quite like it, though some of the labelling is carelessly placed. The long leader line down to Ovcha Kupel II station is unnecessary, and quite a few names cut across route lines. The long station names and bilingual labels don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t help matters, but I feel that more care could perhaps have been taken.

The other main point of contention is the grey background to indicate the boundaries of the city – I feel that this is redundant and just makes the background busier than it needs to be. However, if it was removed, I guess the question of whether to continue to include the parkland areas would have to be addressed.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A solid evolution of the work done by Spazi Sofia🔸澳洲幸运10预测, now made fully official, it seems. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s nothing truly outstanding about it, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s clean, simple and pleasing to the eye. 3 stars.

Submission – 168澳洲十开奖网: Banff National Park Public Transit, Canada🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/banff-national-park-public-transit/ https://transitmap.net/banff-national-park-public-transit/#respond Fri, 06 Mar 2020 18:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=11528 Submitted by Alexis Hunt, who says:

This transit map (in brochure form) covers the bus network in the area stretching from Canmore to Lake Louise in Alberta, about 80 km from end to end. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lot of information to unpack in here, but here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a few things we found particularly interesting or worth noting:

  • A lot of schematic maps try to simplify geometry in order to make the relation between routes and the lines more interesting to follow. This map, on the other hand, actually makes it more complicated, showing the Trans-Canada Highway doing a full 180 around Tunnel Mountain in order to fit the mountain on the page without an inset, while in reality it only does about 90 degrees before continuing on to Canmore.
  • It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s easy to miss just how far apart these towns really are, from looking at this map. Many commuter 澳洲10开官网开奖 relax the scale a lot as they get into suburbs, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s about a 16:1 difference in scale in this map! Between the junction of the TCH and the Bow Valley Parkway (highway 1A) in the bottom left, and the Lake Louise Park and Ride, is close to 48 kilometers, while the part of Canmore depicted on this map is only about 3 km long in its entirety.
  • You🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll note that they recorded the actual distances between several locations on the map, to help get a sense of scale. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s got to be a very difficult challenge to properly convey those distances without losing too much resolution.
  • Many of the locations on this map, especially on the seasonal routes, are tourist destinations, reflecting the tourist-heavy interest, particularly in the summer, in the area.
  • Different shapes of stop markers are used to indicate dropoff-only and pickup-only stops. This is neat, as marker shape doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem to be a common place to put variation, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t add much visual busyness and it gives us fond feelings of Mini Metro. In some places (such as the Benchlands Trail overpass in Canmore) it can be difficult to tell if a marker is a circle or square, though.
  • It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not clear what the hatching (don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know the technical terms) on parts of the Moraine Lake and On-It services is for. This is commonly used to indicate future construction, but this makes no sense in context. We actually can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t figure it out for sure, but it looks like the Moraine Lake route is distinguishing between the incoming and outgoing routes, and trying to indicate that there isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t through service, while on the On-It service it seems to be trying to distinguish between the trips which do and do not serve Canmore (see the schedule).
  • The Canmore local Roam route 5 service doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t appear on this map, probably in part because this map is by Parks Canada rather than the Bow Valley Regional Transit Commission, and partly for space reasons. (It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worth noting that we couldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find a full-system map from the BVRTC for their Roam services.)
  • The map sets out full service and fare details of the various routes, including what you can bring with you on the bus, no doubt in part because of the tourist audience and in part because there is very little in the way of regularity to the fares and service dates.
  • The thinner lines in the inset area in Banff to let them fit in is a nice touch.
  • Stops served in both directions are inconsistently notated with either both arrows (in Lake Louise area) or none (elsewhere).
  • The area is beautiful and absolutely a destination worth visiting if you get the chance, although the crowds are getting pretty bad these days.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, my apologies to Alexis — this map has been sitting in my queue for ages, and I really should have gotten to it earlier.

Yes, this map has some problems with variable scale and the draftsmanship is a little dodgy in places (there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some very unconvincing curves around corners), but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m going to give it full marks for getting this kind of information out there. As National Parks around the world get more and more popular, we need to find ways to cut down on the use of single-occupancy vehicles within the parks themselves. A brochure/map like this that makes public transportation in and around the park look easy and accessible is only to be commended.

Like Alexis, I particularly like the comprehensive table at the bottom left that clearly outlines all the fare and service details for all the routes — this is great information for potential riders to have. If anything, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see more emphasis given to the cost-effectiveness of buying multi-day passes for the Roam network ($12 for three days is a pretty good deal!), so that people can make educated decisions about their transportation choices.

The differing scales in the map could perhaps be dealt with by drawing break lines across the Trans-Canada Highway between the major areas, just to make it clear that the distances between them are larger than shown. The inclusion of distances as labels does mitigate the need for this a bit, though.

The inset of Banff almost feels unnecessary — it adds very little detail to the depiction of the town on the main map, and almost seems to have been included just to fill up an otherwise empty space.

The “pecked” lines (to use the official term, Alexis) really do just seem to be used to say that not every bus follows this route — it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s more obvious for the brown On-It route to Calgary, as not every bus stops at Canmore, so we have to assume it retains the same meaning for the Moraine Lake service.

I would have refrained from placing the TCH “Route 1” maple leaf directly over intersections — it makes it hard to follow routes through the intersection, especially coming out of Banff itself.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 A very serviceable map that does a good job of outlining transit options in and around Banff. A little more polish would really make it sing. Three stars.

Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the official Koleje Dolnośląskie (Lower Silesia, PL) scheme with regional railway lines.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

A solid, workmanlike diagram of regional rail in the region around Wrocław, Poland. Nice thick, colourful route lines with good indication of stopping patterns for the various services. The legend is comprehensive and neatly organised at the bottom of the map.

The labelling is a little inconsistent, with lots of different angles and even some leader lines to squeeze stations into more crowded areas. The type is a little small and condensed overall, but not horrendously so. The border between Poland and the Czech Republic seems a little overly detailed in parts, especially over to the bottom left of the map where Germany gets added to the mix — I think this could all be simplified and generalised a bit more.

168澳洲十开奖网: Ouigo TGV “Ouigoland” Map, France, 2020🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/ouigoland-tgv-france/ https://transitmap.net/ouigoland-tgv-france/#respond Thu, 30 Jan 2020 19:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=11023

This confection of a map appears on SNCF🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s website for their low-cost, no-frills, everything-costs-extra TGV service, Ouigo🔸澳洲幸运10预测 (a name that makes a pun in both English and🔸澳洲幸运10预测 French — “we go” in the former and “yes, go” in the latter).

The map is certainly bright and cheerful, and very definitely on brand for the service. It uses the bright magenta and sky blue colours from the train livery liberally and presents all of France as a theme park (complete with “roller coaster” track!) called “Ouigoland” — tying in perfectly with the service🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s tagline of “Let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s play!”

The major destinations get little illustrative icons to depict the region, ranging from a lovely little Hotel Negresco in Nice to a paper cone of anthropomorphic frites (!) in Lille. The elephant for Nantes confused me at first, but there is🔸澳洲幸运10预测 actually an enormous mechanical pachyderm —  Le Grand Élephant🔸澳洲幸运10预测 — in that city. You can take rides in it! The starfish sunning itself on a towel is probably my favourite.

While I love the style of the map, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s really just used to highlight potential destinations, rather than giving any indication of the actual network. This is probably intentional, as the cut-price nature of Ouigo🔸澳洲幸运10预测 echoes that of no-frills airlines: the destination is the thing, not the journey or route taken to get there. You🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re really meant to go to the Ouigo🔸澳洲幸运10预测 website, enter y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划starting and ending locations and see how cheap the fares are, basically.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Adorable and well-executed, if not actually useful to gain a full understanding of the ins-and-outs of the rapidly expanding Ouigo🔸澳洲幸运10预测 network. Hmmm, maybe a project for the future? Three stars.

168澳洲十开奖网: VTA San Jose Light Rail Map, 2020🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/vta-san-jose-2020/ https://transitmap.net/vta-san-jose-2020/#comments Mon, 20 Jan 2020 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=10984 Along with a major service revision in December 2019 that – amongst other things –closed the Almaden Shuttle light rail line, San Jose🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) also took the opportunity to introduce a new light rail map, shown here.

While it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s nothing outstanding, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s clean, clear and easy to understand – which actually puts it ahead of quite a lot of other maps out there. I would like to see another use of the big curve on the Orange Line between Alder and Cropley somewhere else on the map: it just looks a little odd being the only instance on the map. As riders on the Orange Line are required to transfer to get downtown on the Blue or Green lines, it could be helpful for the map to indicate preferred transfer stations to make that as seamless as possible. Is Old Ironsides better, or is Champion? Or one of the others?

Best practices would also ask for the “O”, “G” and “B” bullets to be repeated at the ends of their respective lines to aid colour-blind users, and listing each line🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s terminus stations in the legend would also be helpful. Speaking of the legend, I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t see a single instance of the bike lockers icon on the actual map – oops!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 The previous VTA light rail map had a lovely little tilt to the left which mirrored the real world alignment of the lines from downtown up to Tasman, which I do miss on this new version. However, this one is cleaner and simpler, so I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an improvement overall. 3 stars.

168澳洲十开奖网: Copenhagen Railways Map, 2019🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/official-map-copenhagen-railways-map-2019/ https://transitmap.net/official-map-copenhagen-railways-map-2019/#respond Fri, 04 Oct 2019 19:10:31 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=10291 Having just reviewed Kristoffer Bæk and Pasha Omelekhin🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s superb new rail map for Copenhagen (October 2019, 4.5 stars), let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s take a look at what the 168澳洲十开奖网 looks like with the addition of the new ring Metro line.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s very obviously an evolution of the existing and distinctive DSB design style (last reviewed on 澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 back in 2014, 4 stars), and may even use the exact same base map underneath the route lines. Apart from the ring line — which I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll get to later — there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a few other noteworthy design changes from the previous version, which all have both good and bad consequences.

“Lokalbaner” rail services have changed from a visually overwhelming dark purple to a mid-grey, which would be fine if it didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t blend in so much with the (also mid-grey) background of the map. I definitely preferred the elegant two-toned light grey background of the previous version, rather than the too-contrasty mid-grey on white of this map, and it would have worked better with the “Lokalbaner” line colour, I feel.

Metro lines have been thankfully upgraded to full colour, instead of the grey lines used previously. However, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no attempt at mode differentiation, so the yellow M2 and F lines look identical to each other, and even cross paths at one point. Even a thin background col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划outline to separate the two lines at this location could be helpful.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing this map is really misses in comparison with Kristoffer and Pasha🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s is a comprehensive legend that clearly explains that the E, H and Bx S-tog lies only run at certain times of day: such good information that could easily fit onto this map and all its vast amount of empty space around the edge. Seriously, why is the map itself so small on the canvas? Why do we need to see so much of the Swedish coastline?

Now, onto the inclusion of the ring line. Unlike many un168澳洲十开奖网s, this map chooses to show it as a perfectly stylised circle, which works… but only just. Because of the generous spacing between concurrent lines, the main trunk of the S-tog network through central Copenhagen is almost half the width🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the ring line circle, which means that all the stations on the ring line have to be shoved to either side to fit. This means some labels have to sit across route lines (normally to be avoided, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s doubly unfortunate that one of them, Poul Henningsens Plads🔸澳洲幸运10预测, is one of the longest names on the map), while others like Trianglen🔸澳洲幸运10预测 have to be angled to avoid clashing with other station markers.

It looks me that the designers have simply moved the F line outwards along its diagonal section a bit to accommodate the circle and then have just done as best they can within the existing framework of the DSB house style. With all the extra available space on the canvas, I think a better job of respacing and resizing the map could have been done with a bit of thought and effort — the central part definitely needs more room to breathe. Goodness knows how this design is going to squeeze the M4 line in 🔸澳洲开奖 it opens next year! I note that the size of all the labels is also slightly reduced from the previous version, another side effect of having to get all the new ring line stations to squeeze into the required space.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Continues on with the distinctive design framework of previous maps, but with less impressive results. The ring line really seems shoehorned into a space that isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t ready for it. Three stars.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸Un168澳洲十开奖网: Circumvesuviana Lines by Harry🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/circumvesuviana-harry-2019/ https://transitmap.net/circumvesuviana-harry-2019/#comments Tue, 27 Aug 2019 15:35:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9984 Submitted by Harry, who says:

Hi Cam – I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m a big fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog, been reading for years. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always wanted to try designing a transit map, but hadn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t found a good system to start with (I live in NYC, which is both daunting and already done well)… until recently! I visited Sorrento in June, and had the chance to ride the Circumvesuviana from Naples to Sorrento and round-trip from Sorrento to Pompeii. Something about it captured my imagination, and since it only has 5 lines it seemed like a great 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划system to map. On top of that, I couldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find a single diagrammatic map of the entire Circumvesuviana anywhere online. There are maps that include the parts in Naples – you featured a great one in 2014 – but none of them extend to Sorrento or the other CV destinations. The official site has very low-res strip maps, Italian Wikipedia has an MS Paint sketch of the routes, and… that was it.

So here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my take! I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to hear what you think, and what I can improve on. My initial idea was to base the design on intersecting circles – the blue line circling the Bay of Naples, the red/green and yellow lines in concentric rings around Vesuvius – but I couldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite get the Linea 3 pink line to fit, and switched to straight lines at 45/90 degree angles. The primary goal was to map the CV lines, so I included other rail options but only within the CV map extent.

For the color scheme, there wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t much to go off of on the CV website. I wanted something specific to the region, so I picked colors from a photo I took of Roman frescos while I was there, and used those – it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little muted, but I think that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s okay since for the most part the lines are only competing with the regional rail, which I have in grey.

I debated a few different ways of showing Vesuvius, and kind of wanted to do a top down view – I ended up going with the profile, as that was the easiest to trace the shape of and have it look okay given my lack of freehand drawing experience in Illustrator.

Before I started on the diagram, I exported the routes from OpenStreetMap to Illustrator as a reference. It turned out they weren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t consistently tagged (and in a few cases tracks were missing), so that led down a rabbit hole of using Google Translate to read Italian Wikipedia and railfan sites (lestradeferrate.it was very helpful!) to correctly map out the routes and stations. Probably more research than I needed to do, but the track map was a helpful reference while creating the map!

Overall I had a lot of fun putting this together – and have a few ideas for expansions (including the metros in central and eastern Naples) or companion pieces (the SITA bus which runs from Sorrento down the Amalfi coast also does not appear to have a map).


澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a great effort for a 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划attempt at a transit map, Harry, and a fun project to sink y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划teeth into. I rode the Circumvesuviana from Naples to the Roman ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum way back in 2003, the day after a massive transit strike hit the region, so that was memorable!

Everything is nice and clear, and the spacing between stations is excellent throughout, though I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d probably like to see the ferry terminals have their own labels or be placed closer to their respective railway stations. While I can see that they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re ever so slightly outside the area covered by this map, leaving the destinations that can be reached by ferry from Naples itself seems unfortunate. On that transit strike day, I took a very worthwhile trip from Naples to Capri, but that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not shown as an option on this map at all.

The two unlabelled grey stations on the blue Sorrento line are a little strange. If they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re closed with no chance of being reopened in the immediate future (like Pozzano will be), then it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s probably best just to omit them.

I think the silhouette of Vesuvius is fine: the shape is very distinctive and recognisable, and it more immediately says “big volcano” than a top-down view would.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m interested in is y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划line numbering for the CV lines: you only give the short Napoli to San Giorgio branch a line number (Linea 3), and from what I can see online, that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not actually correct. The website of the CV🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s operator, EAV, gives these line designations:

  • Linea 1 – Napoli to Sorrento
  • Linea 4 – Napoli to Poggiomarino
  • Linea 6 – Napoli to Sarno
  • Linea 8 – Three branches: Napoli to Acerra; Napoli to Baiano; the branch to San Giorgio

Colours are a bit vague, but Google Maps assigns them thus:

  • Linea 1 – black
  • Linea 4 – green (as yours)
  • Linea 6 – red (as yours)
  • Linea 8 to Acerra and Baiano – yellow (as yours)
  • Linea 8 to San Giorgio – purple (a little more muted than y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划pink)

Apart from that, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s just a couple of minor typographical errors: “statzione” instead of “stazione”, for example.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 A really solid effort that could just be tightened up a bit more here and there. Consistency in naming the CV lines would be good. Three stars!

🔸澳州10开奖记录: Suburban Rail of Brisbane, Australia, c. 1980🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/suburban-rail-brisbane-1980/ https://transitmap.net/suburban-rail-brisbane-1980/#comments Wed, 10 Jul 2019 14:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9805

A simple but effective map, probably dating from late 1980 as the green Ferny Grove to Ipswich line is shown as being electrified from end to end. This work was completed in September of that year, so that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the earliest the map could date to. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little hard to see, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a black “catenary line” running down the middle of the green route line with an occasional lightning bolt icon to denote the electrification.

The map uses an odd variety of non-standard angles to make everything fit together, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still pretty coherent and a darn sight easier to read than the modern-day equivalent (though it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t have to deal with busways or extend from Gympie in the north to the Gold Coast in the south). The freehand curve of the Exhibition line is a little at odds with the nice straight lines employed throughout the rest of the map, while some of the station labels get a bit close together on the blue line from Buranda to Norman Park. The labelling on the rest of the map is pretty good, however. Finally, the imprecise nature of the drawn geography has the unfortunate effect of placing the bayside suburbs to the east of the city a long way from the coast, which is a little odd but not a major problem.

The final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Oddly constructed with a mish-mash of weird angles, but it somehow holds together pretty well. 3 stars.

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.

Submission – Official and Future Maps: Trinational S-Bahn of Basel, Switzerland, 2019 and 2030🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/trireno-basel-2019/ https://transitmap.net/trireno-basel-2019/#respond Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:48:51 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=8225 Submitted by Simon S., who says:

I recently travelled through Basel, in North West Switzerland and noticed this map. It shows the suburban train network of the city, that reaches into Germany and France. I think the map itself is quite well made (very simplistic), but my subjective observation is that the system isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t as unified as it seems – neither DB nor SNCF advertise their respective as “S-Bahn Basel” or “RER Bâle”. You can also notice that it is a Swiss-made map through the station names: Lörrach Dammstrasse🔸澳洲幸运10预测, for example, is actually spelled -straße🔸澳洲幸运10预测 but Switzerland doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t use that letter.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

I think there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a reason why the system isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t as unified as it 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划appears, Simon. The Trireno🔸澳洲幸运10预测 initiative is a long-term plan that aims to have S-Bahn style rail service (30 minute headways on the branches, interlined to 15 minutes or less in the core) in and around the Basel conurbation by 2030. This map only reflects the current, early stages of the program – with the S-Bahn confined to Switzerland and connecting services in France and Germany handled by existing regional trains. The proposed 2030 system can be seen in the map below – looking much more complete and impressive.

Design-wise, the two maps are pretty similar (good!). The route lines are a little too spindly and thin for me, and the station labelling is inconsistent – why are they angled on the purple S9 line, 🔸澳洲开奖 they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re horizontal on the adjacent blue S3? I do like the subtle national border markers – they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re there if you look, but as the idea of the system is to build up stronger transit that transcends boundaries, they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re very small and restrained.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Not extraordinary, but solid enough. Nice to see that the design language scales up to the 2030 map pretty well. Three stars.
