BAY AREA TRANSIT

San Francisco
Main Lines

This is our third version of a "frequent" transit map showing (only) San Francisco's busiest transit lines, regardless of mode. (A couple of caveats: cable car lines are not shown, and limited-stop lines that run frequently, but not often, are shown.) Honestly, we're still working toward the correct approach to this concept. This version, like most of the "maps" we've produced over the last few years, is a hybrid of a geographically accurate map and a schematic diagram. That, we are convinced, is the correct way to go — but rendering it the right way, realizing the concept, is tricky. In any case, the point of this map/diagram is to provide a guide to transit lines that you should not have to wait long for, and thus, that you can (at least in theory) count on without having to plan around.
