Initial concept used to see the extents of the system and test various rendering techniques.

Initial concept of the network's central core.

One of the biggest issues with many transit maps is that they tend to lack hierarchy of service levels. At the start of the project, we produced a sample map that put greater focus on differentiation between different modes of service.

The map is based on a grid system that controls the placement of individual features in space. Each transit line then manually rendered based on various considerations such as readability and legibility. The final map is a type of hybrid rendering that resembles actual geography yet simplifies many details to create a more user-friendly product.
