A new map to consolidate Rapid Urban Rail & Regional Rail in the Bay Area.
The Challenge
Designing an integrated network map for all rail transport in the Bay Area.
Combined into one map
New Geometry
The previous geometry with 45° turns appears too complex and lines are hard to follow.
The new clean and easy-to-read design thanks to a new geometry with fewer turns. It is ideally suited for the Bay geography.
Simple Design
Minimalistic station and line design support accessibility and readability.
Light rail in San Francisco and San Jose has been made accessible through station indicators.
Here, the new map specifically focuses on the intercity network instead of overloading the map with more lines.

Geography
Geographic references make sense in the Bay Area and help with easy orientation.
Final Design
The final concept combines a minimalistic and clean design with new geometry.
It allows riders to get a good and quick understanding of the network and to easily plan their trip.
