Muni vs. Muni
Why is it that the MUNI maps for the light rail are so different then the MUNI bus lines? I know there are many more busses and that the maps are geographically accurate - but why? Why are the street level maps so unlike the more conventional and successful mappings of the light-rail, BART, NY Subways, and the London Underground? One may retort that the London Underground and the London Bus system mapping share the same parallels in design as the San Francisco systems and I would agree but also point out that they suffer from similar understandability issues.
With all the issues surrounding specifically MUNI like cost, reliability, and service a redesign of the system mapping is well over due! Boy would I love that opportunity!
