@ryanselvy: The DC Metro is getting an updated signage system for their metro lines. It’s supposed to increase accessibility, but some of the choices feel like more of a hindrance. Like why would you get rid of this wrap around color indicator? Transit design is an extension of UX design and graphic design, and you never want to make navigation smaller. Curious to see the roll out of this. #dcmetro #transitdesign #graphicdesign
I agree! They’re trying to be like New York. We’re not New York

new doesn't mean better!!! They need to run changes by a resident and ADA committee first.

I've lived here since 1996 and have been commuting my metro for almost that long and I've never realized those stripes corresponded to the lines. I guess I unconsciously assumed they were decorative and never paid any attention esp since I always knew which line I was at. It's not like the metro system has dozens or hundreds of lines to keep track of like Beijing, NYC or London.

they should have made the likes thicker and put the letters inside of the lines, that way even colorblind ppl can tell what lines cross that station

It’s classic change for change sake. Someone legitimizing their fee. The old system works for a reason.

We're going backwards, the new feels like something we'd have renovated with the old design

They also used to have the exit streets on every sign when you get off the train for stations that have multiple exits. They changed that too… makes no sense

The amount of times im on a train and have no clue what station im at is crazy. You can’t understand the conductor on the mic, the signs are blocked or no where near my window. The lay out sucks
