Osaka Subway Map, Area Map and Wayfinding System

Nice big maps, and clear (but maybe a little dull) directional signage. A full review of that system map looks to be in order in the near future…

Porto Metro Signage

Looks quite lovely in location… although perhaps a little small to be seen from far away.

The Colors of Public Transit

Love, love, love this photo of wayfinding signage in Chicago. Anyone know which station this is? I’m guessing one of the Wabash stations on the Loop, but don’t know enough about them to narrow it down further.

Edit: Knowledgeable readers have identified this sign as being at Clark/Lake station - thanks!

Direzione: Anagnina

If the name of your station is in light grey, the trains from this platform are not going there. Simple but effective wayfinding signage from Rome’s Metro.

Photo: Barcelona Wayfinding Signage

A excellent example of how strong transit map design is carried across to other elements of the user experience: here, strong and easily understood wayfinding signage in the Barcelona Metro.
