It just dangles there now at an odd angle.Ħ) I like the silver color gradient selected – I think it looks quite nice running alongside the bue on the eastern side and pretty good alongside the orange on the west.ħ) This might be controversial, but I like the addition of the green on the eastern side of the map. Third, the Foggy Bottom station almost seems to refer to Rosslyn.Ĥ) I like the smaller transfer station icon, but it looks silly on the 3 lines because it’s too small there.ĥ) I wish they had moved Crystal City’s station name, either aligning it with Reagan or Pentagon City. Two, the hospital symbol comes before the station name, whereas elsewhere it is after. One, it’s written “Foggy” and then “Bottom” is on the next line. It’s now really clear what location the name is tied to, but it seems disjointed compared to the other nearby B/O/S line station name placements.ģ) I do not like the new Foggy Bottom. and Shaw.Ģ) I am not sure if I like the placement of McPherson Sq.

However, in the interest of readability and streamlining, we will keep cross streets off smaller versions of the map often found online and in printed materials. Lightened the Beltway and jurisdiction borders to improve readabilityĬross streets will remain on the large version of the maps in stations and on trains, where it is most useful for customers as they are traveling on Metro.Added a note that the map is not to scale.Added the Metro Transit Police phone number.Made the rail lines 24% thinner to ensure room for the Silver Line.New icon for stations that are serviced by three rail lines: the traditional station dot with white extenders.Improved the geographic accuracy of the stations where possible.In addition to the inclusion of the Silver Line, the map includes many improvements based on customer feedback, including: After several months and extensive customer feedback, Metro is pleased to release the updated map, above. Since then, the team has been working to incorporate the Silver Line onto the system map. Metro’s original system map designer, Lance Wyman, began working with Metro again a few years ago when we needed to update the system map to accommodate the “Rush-Plus” service plan.
