Submitted by Stavros, who says: Hello, I just discovered y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划website, and I want to submit a bus transit map I made last year for the city of Boulder, CO. I hope you consider reviewing it on the blog and letting me know what I can change. In an effort to improve quality of service, the City of Boulder has taken over and invested heavily in a few select bus routes. As a result, the […]
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 […]
Long before the current idea of putting Teslas in tunnels and calling it rapid transit, there was PRT, or Personal Rapid Transit. The idea was that many small carriages on guideways could take people directly to their intended destination anywhere along the route – described as a “horizontal elevator” by John Volpe, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation at the time. In the early 1970s, Denver beat out 29 other cities around the U.S. and was […]
A great map of Denver from 1904, showing the extant lines of the Denver City Tramway Company (DCTC) in green, with planned lines in red – rapid expansion seemed to be the name of the game! The DCTC is unusual for a couple of reasons: it used the less common 3-foot-6-inch “colonial” narrow gauge for its lines instead of standard gauge, and referred to itself as a “tramway”, a term used almost nowhere else in […]
Submitted by Joseph, who says: I recently completed an un168澳洲十开奖网 of Roaring Fork Transportation Authority winter bus service in Aspen, Colorado (80 x 40 cm, Affinity Designer). I decided to take on this project in response to the 168澳洲十开奖网s🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 collective failure to portray the system🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Upvalley services. RFTA🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s system map lacks detail south of Brush Creek and directs the viewer to a nonexistent “Aspen inset,” and the City of Aspen🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s bus map shows […]
A great example of late 1970s American transit map design from Denver🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Regional Transportation District (RTD) with thick, chunky route lines, minimalist design sensibilities and tightly letter-spaced sans serif headings. The map has the potential to get messy really quickly, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s actually all handled rather deftly and cleanly. Colour-coding differentiates between different service types (local, express, circulator and regional), and route numbers and road names are placed inside the thick route lines, which generally […]
I’ve had quite a few calls to review this map over the last day or so, with people calling it “interesting”, “quite something” and just plain “bad”. It certainly continues the somewhat haphazard evolution of the system map over the last couple of years as more lines have opened, that’s for sure. Visually, it has quite a bit in common with the last iteration I reviewed a year ago, though the most obvious change is the expansion of […]
Submitted by Dan Malouff, who says: Denver has opened several new rail lines over the past year or so. Apparently, with the most recent one, they launched a new system map. Finally they’re using consistent angles! 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: So far, this new design only seems to be on in-car strip maps: RTD’s website still uses a version of the horrid old “wibbly lines” diagram. Small steps! It’s certainly a vast improvement over what’s come […]
Denver’s rapidly-expanding rail network took another step forward today with the opening of the new commuter rail service out to Denver International Airport – the “train to the plane”, as they (a little unoriginally) call it. However, for those – like me! – hoping for a new map to celebrate the new service, you’re in for a disappointment, as the latest offering is just a minimally-modified version of the previous map (June 2016, 1.5 stars). […]
While we’re talking about the Flatiron Flyer, I do like this simple little interactive map on the RTD website about the project. You simply click on y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划start and end destinations and it tells you which route(s) you can catch and what y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划fare options are. Neat! (Again, I think that the numbering would have worked better if the current FF5 had slid down to be FF3, moving FF3 and FF4 up one spot each, […]
