      I appreciate the effort too. I have "mild" red-green color blindness. You also have to take into account real life lightning, as in actually standing in a station looking at a map. If possible, I don't think color should be involved at all. But on the other hand, I'm not sure what could replace it.

  • @triforium_t
    @triforium_t 2 роки тому +276

    Greetings from a fellow transit enthusiast and Norwegian! Let me start off by expressing how impressed I am by your skills and creativity in transit diagram design. It is truly enthusiasts and clever people like yourself we have to thank for spreading knowledge and interest about transit to the common man, and for pushing transit officials to go above and beyond in their planning and design.
    Your recent design is without a doubt an improvement from your last one. Nonetheless, I would like to understand the reasoning behind your choice of combining these specific three modes of transport in your comprehensive diagram. At first glance, the obvious answer to that question would be that these three modes are all running on rails. However, I would argue that that is the only similarity between these modes of transport - at least when it comes to Oslo.
    The regional Vy trains (the R trains) run to towns and cities, which are for, all practical purposes, outside the Oslo area - strictly speaking. Their main role is not to carry commuters on a daily basis into and through the city; there are after all not many people commuting to Oslo from Skien and Göteborg (in Sweden!) on a daily basis. The local Vy trains (the L trains) and the outer parts of the Ruter metro lines share, in my view, the role of being the city area's rapid transit system (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_transit) - brining daily commuters from suburbs and nearby towns and villages.
    In my opinion, the inner parts of the metro (as well as a small part of the central local train service on L1, L2, L3 and L21) share roles with the trams and city buses in functioning as the frequent and reliable network of transport for the city's inhabitants, consisting of lines and branches of lines with a multitude of stops close together. They serve an entirely different different purpose than the trains and outer parts of the metro, in my view.
    In reality the trams in Oslo function merely as buses on rails - which brings me to the buses of the Oslo area. It's not difficult to understand why you have omitted the bus lines from your comprehensive diagram, as the official bus diagram already is a spaghetti mess on its own (ruter.no/globalassets/rutetabeller/buss-oslo/linjekart/buss-oslo-linjekart-08082022.pdf). That is because Oslo's bus service, both the regional one but especially the city bus system, is really extensive in size, as well as frequency, as well as coverage.
    Many people tend to regard the metro as the backbone of the Oslo transit system. But when looking at number of yearly journeys, the importance of the buses in Oslo can't be understated. In 2019 (the last year with statistics not affected by the pandemic) the number of total bus journeys reached 180 million - of which 115 million were made by city bus and 65 million were made by regional bus (aarsrapport2021.ruter.no/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2022/02/NOKKELTALL-til-a%CC%8Arsrapport-2021.xlsx). Compare that to the metro's number of journeys of the same year at 119 million, the tram's at 53 million, and the train's at only 42,2 million, a safe conclusion can be drawn: The transit system of Oslo would collapse without the bus.
    The bus digression aside, my argument is not that you should combine all these four modes of transit into one - I think that would be an impossible task. My argument is that it would make more sense to design a diagram combining bus, trams and metro lines into one (and maybe even include the ferries and boats). Oslo needs a comprehensive _city_ diagram where all these three modes of transport are combined - buses, trams and central parts of the metro. These three serve different geographical areas of the city, and when travelling from one part of the city to the other - even for shorter distances - one often has to change between the three. A proper city transit diagram combining these quite similar modes would help locals, commuters and tourists alike.
    If you are commuting from say Moss or Gjøvik (two separate cities/towns), I'd argue that the need for one single diagram combining local trains (L trains), which run for over 100 kilometres, with tram lines, which run for only up to 20 kilometres, is not present. If I were a long-distance commuter, I'd be much more comfortable with using one diagram for the local trains and the outer parts of the metro to help me get into the city centre (especially regarding Oslo only having one large train station), and then turing to a comprehensive city diagram combining the buses, trams and central metro lines. A commuter's journey to a specific part of the city could then be mentally divided into two parts: The first one would focus on getting from a suburb, village or town into the city, and the second one would focus on figuring out which city bus, tram or metro to take in order to get to the desired part of the city.
    Seeing as Oslo city has such a developed bus, tram and inner metro service, with great coverage, loads of stops and high frequency, there is rarely a need to walk more than 200 metres at the most, regardless of where your destination is within the city centre. This is a great feature in a modern city and is one that is deserving diagrams which make the system accessible to all. That is the reason why I think two separate diagrams, where one is regional and one is a comprehensive city based one, is favourable over your current design.
    I want to stress once again how impressive I find your skills and creativity in redesigning transit diagrams to be, and also that the diagram in this video already is accessible, functional and all together great. The reason behind my very lengthy comment is merely some ~constructive critique~ (as is the official phrase in proper Norwegian) and maybe to challenge your exceptional skills into creating something even more comprehensive and impressive.
    There would clearly be some challenges in creating my suggested city diagram combining the buses, trams and central metro. As well as the extensive city bus service, Ruter also has quite a large-scale regional bus service, serving the local areas around the suburban hubs and towns, which themselves are served by the outer metro and local train lines. Seeing as a number of these regional bus services call at a multitude of stops both inside and outside Oslo proper, this would require some creative design and sacrifice of accuracy, no doubt.
    Yet again, this was a great video and a great design! I hope my critique is welcomed and I wish you all the best with your upcoming designs and projects. Maybe we'll see an updated version (or versions in plural form!) of this diagram in the future. ;)
    Cheers,
    Tord

    • @T2norway
      @T2norway  2 роки тому +41

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Tord!
      I totally agree with the idea of having two separate maps. One for travelling to the city, and one for navigating within the city. I have actually been thinking of making a more geographically-oriented map of Oslo, with buses (and ferries?) included. Here, it would be natural to include more details such as boroughs, rivers and maybe even landmarks, making it easier to navigate. This is a huge task though, so I might need to practice a bit before I start untangling the spaghetti monster.
      Regarding the regional trains, I included them because they kinda function as local trains between Lysaker and Oslo S. And between Asker-Oslo S-Lillestrøm, they supplement and provide a high-frequency service resulting in trains running every 10 minutes. I don’t think that should go unnoticed.
      The only similarity between these modes of transport are, as you mentioned, that they all run on rails. I’m not yet at the skill level where I can add complex bus routes, hence why it was easier for me to ‘redesign’ three existing line diagrams. Hopefully I’ll succeed with an updated version in the future. One for trains/metro and one for the city itself.
      PS: Ruter has previously made a diagram including main bus routes, metro, tram and some ferries. But it’s not easy to find online: ontheworldmap.com/norway/city/oslo/central-oslo-transport-map.jpg It’s not even listed on their official website. It only shows key stations and is clearly targeted towards tourists. It doesn’t include train lines, which I dislike, as they are still an important part of the public transportation in Oslo. The following example is not relevant for a tourist, but my point is that trains can sometimes be much faster than the metro and must not be forgotten: Going to Bryn from Oslo S? Taking the L1 train takes just 3 minutes, with a frequency of 15 min. The metro takes 9 min, but with higher frequency. (I’m aware that Brynseng and Bryn are far away from each other in my diagram, ideally they should have a connection indicator).

    This is a great and very clean diagram, hardly at all overloaded. Easy to understand, but at the same time preserving all the complexity of the network. I always like to see diagrams with many, many lines, that you almost get lost with so many lines (including city bus diagrams, which is even crazier) but at the same time trying to be as minimally cluttered as possible.
    Maybe the only thing I would say is to reduce the spacing between the lines when they are close together as you end up with a line thickness that ends up being a bit too thick. For the rest, it is very good.

    @8:40 The number change was an important feature that needs to be reinstated. Before the introduction of the unified number 5, that 46 thing allowed people to be sure where the train is going just by looking at the line number, without caring to read the destination. Currently, at every station of the central segment of Line 5 people need to care not only for the number but also for the destination. Particularly confusing at Majorstuen where the line 5 divides immediately after such a major station.
    Bringing back line 6, although appears to increase the complexity, would actually simplify the wayfinding.

    Just fantastic! Your channel was new to me, public transport (maps) in Norway just didn’t push the algorithm as much as the UK or Germany (or even Sweden/Denmark).
    Years back, I (only just) tried to create a map for Nedre Glomma. Let’s just say that ØKT (regional transport authority) weren’t too excited and helpful with data.
    I lived in Oslo for 14 years, and also worked in London. So sure, Sarpsborg isn’t like any of those cities. However, I do think that the regional authorities are lagging seriously when it comes to catering for a bit of enthusiasm around public transport.
    Great that people like you contribute to that enthusiasm! Good maps create better awareness - and more pragmatic users won over! 👍

    Your work on this map is just amazing !! I think if you want to do another challenge like this, you could try Paris, it's a bit more complicated I think (some much line we get lost easily).
    Love what you're doing! Continue!

    If there’s one thing I’d add is that the (the old at least) train maps used to have greyed arrows showing cities outside the region. So an arrow to Trondheim from Lillehammer and Stockholm from Kongsvinger etc. Otherwise this is pretty neat

    You might consider marking the oportunity to change from metro to train between Brynseng and Bryn. Short walk between train and metro there.

    Beautiful! Thank you for making this video!
    I like collecting and making transit diagrams, but definitely not to your level of professionalism. This looks amazing.
    I was kinda sad that you gave up on the place names and other city features, because as a potential visitor to Olso who likes to travel around on public transport it would have helped me get acquainted with the structure of the city more easily.

    This video ought to be part of the visual communication design classes! I enjoy looking at the transit maps and seeing how they approach the design process and how much information they could put together onto one design. Unfortunately, I have seen some maps that could be combined, might be better off being separated, or are in dire need of proper redesign.
    Munich managed to put together all five (express bus, tram, subway, commuter, and regional trains) onto one local map along with tariff zones. Tram lines and express bus lines are thinner than subway and commuter train lines. The regional trains are represented by blue and yellow stripes. The express bus lines have white and green stripes.

    Great map! Super jealous about all the transit options your city has! I live in a similar sized city to Oslo and I'd be over the moon if we even had just one of your three modes of rail transport!

    In my city trainlines are always just solid blacklines. And its only one line as long as different lines use the same stations until the tracks split up. To make a clear distinction between train and tram/bus.

    I find it interesting that you showed the London diagram as an example of how the addition of fair-zones can ruin the look of a diagram.
    When I was in London last summer I found the diagram with the fair-zones to be very informative for figuring out where I was able to go with my oyster-card.
    A number next to each station outside of the innermost fair-zone wouldn't be as effective for that imho.

    Love how clean and modern this looks!
    One suggestion i have for differentiating the modes? Have the line numbers in a different shape. Like a circle for busses (here the bus stop signs tend to have a circle with an H in it). Square for trams, Hexagon Trains, etc.
    Alternatively: the white "dotted" squares in different shapes depending what kind of transit mode it is. like a filled line for one mode, dots for another, squares or rectangles for another.
    I will say though, you do have me interested and curious about the making of a transit line map. ... i wonder if i should try it out for myself maybe...

    I will definitely pay more attention to our bus stop diagrams tomorrow. It looks confusing at first glance so never used it, but maybe it's actually logical.
