transitdiagrams Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 Hi! I do transit maps (diagrams) for fun in my spare time to relax. Here is one I was doing on Monday and Tuesday and updated yesterday: It's my totally unofficial transit map showing the the tramway (light rail) network of Eskişehir, Turkey. It has quite an interesting system with many loops. And what's really nice is that they have meter gauge. Feedback, corrections, input is always appreciated. Have a nice Thursday =) GarryP, StuartRc, GomorrahDotD and 6 others 9 Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

Staff MattP Posted July 4, 2019 Staff Posted July 4, 2019 These look so cool! transitdiagrams 1 Quote
Roger C Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 @ChrisSmere Beautiful work! Calm, cool and collected. Your Instagram page is delicious. Were these all done in Designer? You could post the San Francisco map here, as well. It looks remarkably like a Unicorn. Is that just coincidence? transitdiagrams 1 Quote Affinity Designer & Photo : Win 10

I guess the loops create a calming atmosphere! Appreciate your kind feedback! It's wonderful that you like my Instagram collection - I am pretty proud of it and it's growing weekly! The maps I post here are some with Designer! Some older maps are from the times before Designer and done with Inkscape. But I am converting them map by map in Designer files. My SF unicorn map? That's a coincidence which I only recognized later. But I chose to leave it like this as it's a pride themed map. Will post it next in a few days, if you like Chris Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

GarryP Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Yet another lovely map. It might sound childish but I found myself making “Oooh, Ahh, Whoh, Weeee” sounds (in my head) as I followed the lines and loops around the map, like I was on some kind of particularly-sedate roller coaster. When a map makes you have fun reading it, you know you’re on to a winner. Alfred, transitdiagrams and Roger C 1 2 Quote

transitdiagrams Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Hey! After some feedback I have updated the map :-) What do you think? PS: @GarryP now it's even more loopy :-) GarryP 1 Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

GarryP Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Strap yourselves in; it’s gonna’ be an even wilder ride! Even better than the first one. And I like that you’ve added the arrows where necessary – Fatih (top-left) etc. – they make the map more usable (didn’t spot the need for them the first time round myself either). My only concern, and to call it a concern is probably saying too much, is that at some of the stations – OGU, Opera, etc. – it sort of looks like if you stay on when the tram gets to them you’ll come back and stop at the same station again before going back the way you came. I don’t know if this happens in reality or whether it’s a problem; just thought I’d mention it. Lovely stuff though. transitdiagrams 1 Quote

Thanks again =) Actually, many of these terminal stations are built exactly like this: on stop is for getting off and one is for gettting on but they are normally shown as a single stop - it's the last stop so it's fine, I think. Really appreciate it!! Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

Looking forward to seeing the next one. :-) have many more waiting for publication in this forum but I don't want to flood it with them so I am trying to keep a distance between posts. Little teaser: The next one will be trolleybus and bus network map. Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

GarryP Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Yeah, best not to use them up too quickly. Every now and again as a treat will be just right. transitdiagrams 1 Quote
