A map on a wall is all anyone needs unless they're terminally stupid and need to be spoon fed even the simplest information. Boltar I don't always agree with your sentiments, but in this case I think you are right. Relatively speaking, it is cheap and easy for maps to be posted up on the walls in various strategic places (platforms, for example), where a quick glance "I need to go down there a bit, then over there a bit" tells the traveller enough. That works if there is a turn-up and go service everywhere, or the map shows details like "runs every half hour", "match days only", "no service on St Fred's day", etc, and the passenger has a way of finding out when those things are. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
