This is a great graphic. I think, though, especially given the electronic signs at stations now indicate trains going to "Production" or "Production Way" that it would be good to change "University" on this map to either the full "Production Way–University" or at least "Production Way".

Ideally, despite their length, full names for all stations (e.g. Stadium-Chinatown, Joyce-Collingwood, Broadway–City Hall, etc.) would be used for clarity.

Certainly using "Broadway" for "Commercial–Broadway" and "City Hall" for "Broadway–City Hall" is problematic. They specifically renamed the original "Broadway" and "Commercial" stations to "Commercial–Broadway" (rather than Broadway–Commercial) to avoid any confusion with the then-new Canada Line's "Broadway–City Hall" so while you've used unique names in the image, you've reversed how they're referred to officially. Same with the Evergreen Extension's "Lafarge Lake–Douglas".

Similarly, the 99 B-Line stops at Main and also at Fraser. There's no stop named "Kingsway".

Given there are apparently going to be several new B-Lines starting up in the next year, it might be best to do just a "rapid transit" (i.e. non-bus diagram) diagram, which would give more space for full names and reduce the chance that people would confuse "Granville" on the 99 with Granville the Expo Line station. --Joeyconnick (talk) 21:14, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
