How to Design a Better Bus Transit Map

For years on this blog and in our projects, we’ve stressed the importance of highlighting and emphasizing transit agencies’ Frequent Networks on customer information of all kinds. Portland’s agency TriMet has traditionally been a best practice example here, given their extensive Frequent Network branding down to the individual stop level, but curiously, their system map has not embraced this idea so wholeheartedly. Today, TriMet’s new system map changes that, introducing a cleaner, more readable map, which does a much better job of highlighting the agency’s premier bus services.
