The construction of the new terminal at Salt Lake City International Airport necessitated constructing a new light rail station, which opened today. One interesting new thing for UTA at the station is a line map. While these have existed on board UTA🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s TRAX light rail and FrontRunner commuter rail trains for a while, this is the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划time they have used this kind of map at a station. I do feel that this kind of map is useful in this context. However, I feel the map is lacking somewhat. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, it might not be obvious to riders new to the system that the icons represent transfer points to other UTA rail services, so a legend might be helpful. Another big complaint is that UTA continues to leave off any information about bus services, which would be helpful in encouraging riders to use connecting buses. On the other hand, the one really helpful thing that this line map does include is mentioning that the Green Line does go downtown, which is probably the most sought after piece of information for people arriving at the airport and looking to ride the train downtown.

Thanks for the photo, Mike! It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s good to see that UTA is moving in the right direction 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to passenger information – particularly at the airport, which may be people🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划introduction to the city🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s light rail system.

This strip map does the job, but still somehow feels a bit loose and incomplete compared to the best examples from around the world – Berlin🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s being a prime example. Part of it is the typeface, which I believe is Hoefler&Co.🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Whitney. While it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a fine typeface that is designed to be used for wayfinding purposes, I find its use here a bit flat and underwhelming. At 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance, it comes across looking more like Microsoft🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Calibri, which is almost never the desired result. Some quick fixes: move all the labels to the left a bit (to match the gap to the icons on the left of the route line), track all the letters out a bit for readability and increase the font size as much as possible.

I think the icons to the left of the line are generally fine and easily understood. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s explained at the top of the map that this light rail line is the “Green Line”, so I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s too much of a stretch to assume that the “Blue Line” and “Red Line” – which also share a similar icon – are also light rail. The “S-Line” and “FrontRunner” are a bit more problematic as they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re not explained quite as conveniently. Adding “Commuter Rail” underneath the FrontRunner label solves that problem – maybe it needs to also be “S-Line Streetcar”? I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d try to avoid adding a legend to a simple strip map like this as it just increases the amount of information that needs to be parsed by a reader.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Has all the elements of a fine strip map, but somehow manages to be less than the sum of its parts. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still perfectly usable, but not quite 🔸澳洲幸运10预测as good as it could be.

Perhaps because of post-war austerity measures, this map was printed with just two inks – green and black – but still manages to do a lot of really good work.

The radial nature of the Green Line network definitely makes things easier for the designer, as only a few of the routes really interact with others as they spread inexorably outwards from the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s centre. The large route numbers at each terminus are great, as is the eye-catching reversed white rectangle indicating central London which also refers readers to a more detailed map on the other side of the sheet. Labelling is in the almost-ubiquitous Gill Sans, which for me always seems to work a bit better as all-caps, such as at the terminus stations.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测The limited col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette might have been imposed on the designer, but they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve turned it into a positive – creating a distinctive and stylish piece.

Pet MBTA peeve – there is NO reason that angle of the E-line standoff can’t match the D-line on the Green Line strip Map . (Now it will endlessly annoy you too!)

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not just the mismatched angles of the branches that makes my eye twitch on this map, Chris. I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t help but notice that all the stops on the “B” branch that were closed in 2004 have had their names erased, but their station dots remain.

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also still a reference to Arborway (closed in 1985) on the “E” branch, although with a subtitle naming Heath Street as the actual terminus. The map itself dates from 1990 or later, as it used to read “Hynes Convention Center/ICA”, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s possible that this map was made in the period 🔸澳洲开奖 the Arborway closure was still thought to be temporary and its use as the name of the branch line was still common.

Still, this is a map well and truly past its use-by date – which seems to be an all too common sight on the MBTA.

I’m somewhat in awe of this project by Nicolas Kruchten, which shows full-length panoramic views of all the Angrignon-bound platforms on the Montreal Metro’s Green Line. To achieve the end result, Nicolas took video from the last window of a train as it departed each station, and then wrote software that stitched frames together into the final panorama, taking into account the train’s acceleration out of each station. Astounding!

Nicolas is toying with the idea of releasing posters of this project, so if you’re interested, head on over to his project page and let him know!

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Answer: Operationally, Green and Yellow Line trains terminate southbound at the SW Jackson station. All passengers have to disembark there, but🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the trains do then enter a loop between SW Jackson and the SW College station for a short layover before changing their destination blinds and heading north along 6th Avenue.

So it’s really an individual design decision whether to show that loop or not: it doesn’t exist🔸澳洲幸运10预测 from a passenger’s perspective, but is required🔸澳洲幸运10预测 to move trains between the two stations. I personally prefer to show the loop (but also indicate the terminus by use of the correct station marker) because I think it makes more logical sense – how else do the trains get from one station to the other? Teleportation? Interestingly, TriMet used🔸澳洲幸运10预测 to show the loop for the old western end of the Yellow Line between the Library/9th and Galleria/10th stations before it was rerouted down the 5th/6th Avenue transit mall.

However, there’s one major flaw that – for me – stops this graphic from being a total success. Barrett has used three different🔸澳洲幸运10预测 vertical scales for his graphs, which prevents rapid visual comparison between numbers (which one might say is the whole point of graphical presentation of data).

The same height represents 5,000 riders on the “B” and “C” branches, 4,000 riders on the “D” and “E” branches, and 20,000🔸澳洲幸运10预测 on the main trunk line. The graphic would be far🔸澳洲幸运10预测 more effective if the bars for the trunk line stations towered above those of the branch lines, don’t you think?
