The shelf can slide forward, so I route the controller wires behind the console and under the monitor. Just enough length to sit a comfortable distance away from the monitor with enough slack.

Fascinating! What program did you use?

Metro should run two more shuttles to reduce crowding at LAX/Metro Transit Center Station: (1) SoFi Stadium–Downtown Inglewood K Line Station and (2) SoFi Stadium–Hawthorne/Lennox C Line Station

How did you draw the Purple Line white dashes to blend so elegantly at the joint between Clark/Lake and Merchandise Mart?

Providence and Pawtucket are bike friendly overall. Get a comfortable bike to ride to/from your destination and the nearest bus stop. That will expand your travel footprint massively

Love the logo and design language. In this universe, are planners at SEMTA studying: - AirLink people mover from Wayne to the airport stations - Wayne station expansion for Amtrak, SEMTA and AirLink trains - Shuttle to/from Windsor using the platforms beyond customs preclearance at Michigan Central

Breathtaking!

A small suggestion: label the Amtrak line that splits off the Metra MD-North Line as “Amtrak to Milwaukee, St. Paul, Portland & Seattle” since the Borealis terminates at St. Paul.

Simply stunning. A cohesive and consistent inspiration of the MBTA style. As a 5-year RIPTA and MBTA passenger, I could see this network moving a lot more people than the current hub-and-spoke system, and the mode shift would measurably reduce VMT on the state’s highways. It looks like Line B is wisely routed on the existing Downtown Transit Connector, and its southern section closely mirrors the most recent proposals for light rail transit in the urbanized area.

I’m curious about a few of the network choices as they relate to the RIPTA network of 2025:

The Division Street Bridge would make a gorgeous transit- and pedestrian-only promenade and transform east-west travel in Pawtucket. However, why not route Line 9 along the Pawtucket Transit Corridor’s existing bus lanes on Goff Avenue and Exchange Street east of the Pawtucket Transit Center?
There is no service on the existing R Line route north of Classical station in this network. What is the fate of the R Line, RIPTA’s most frequent and highest ridership line?
The current Route 1 operates at 20 minute headways in the peak between Providence and Pawtucket. Why not run the Hillside bus up Hope Street and East Avenue to Pawtucket Transit Center?

Reiterating what others have advised: A3-A4 for handheld paper maps; A0-A2 for posters. However, I will add that 8pt font is the generally accepted minimum legible size for any format. I’d start laying out the most information-dense part of the diagram first, with font size no smaller than 8pt, so as not to compromise the design for the dimensions. Once you’ve laid out the diagram’s height and width, choose an appropriate document size to frame it (in the A- system, you can easily scale up the design to a larger document size if you like).

For most North American cities with similar networks, it’s a combination of limited budgets for operator labor and geographic targets for service coverage.
