Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Fri Sep 9 09:09:11 2011, in response to WMATA: Comparing the first map to the latest, posted by Sand Box John on Fri Sep 9 08:36:55 2011. A surprisingly good survey.I answered: - Striped line (rather than dashed) for part-time services - Leave the map as is (no dots) for reduced rush hour service - Completely confusing for dots in circles at intermediate terminals (it's too similar to their interchange device; they should change their signage to Eastbound/Westbound etc, rather than relying on outer terminals) - Rush Hours/Non-Rush Hours (rather than Peak/Off-Peak — it's about service levels, not fares) - Yes, show operating times on the map - Call the Dulles extension a branch of the Orange Line, not the Silver Line (to both questions) - Don't show future stations and service - The grey cartouche for the Dulles bus at Rosslyn - The blue P symbols for parking - The proposed terminal RD marker, rather than writing RED LINE alongside the Red Line (although really, I wish they'd put a neither option in there: you'd have to be pretty dumb not to be able to tell that the Red Line was not drawn in blue, orange, yellow, or green) - Yes, remove the prohibitions from the map (they have no wayfinding purpose whatsoever) |
