Posted by Fine, Howard, and Fine on Wed Nov 14 09:27:51 2018 Chart below plagiarized from Mapping the Colors of North America’s Transit Lines at Next City who got it from Ari Ofsevit a MIT Transportation Engineering grad student. Can you always tell the gold from yellow from orange? I usually cannot. Many of the properties, I could see how orange and red can be confused. A DC guy, Stephen Hudson, noting that he understands how colors might not work for NYC MTA: "Using line colors in New York would also be impractical, as there are simply too many lines. After eight or so lines, using colors for each different route becomes impractical as there are no longer primary or secondary colors left to use for names. The New York Subway already use a darker green for the 4, 5, and 6 trains, and a lighter green for the G trains, a darker blue for the A, C, and E trains, a lighter blue for the T trains, and so on." |
