SEQ High Frequency Network Map

Thought it was about time that SEQ got a frequent network map.
Though this isn't a true one, since the rail network is on there and it doesn't meet the frequency standard (Perhaps call it the "core" network map")
One option could be to show the non high frequency parts of the rail network in a lighter tone.

Anyway, it has all ferries, buz and rail lines on it. Any other bus routes I could put on...That 15 min route in Ipswich for instance? What about on the GC and SCs?

Bit of a work in progress, still trying to work out how to best represent the eastern parts of the Cityglider and 199. Also plan on linking walkable interchanges with thin lines (Eg link South Bank ferries to South Bank Station, link Cityglider to Fortitude Valley station etc)
Also need to label routes, and do the sunshine coast line stations down one side
I'm thinking on the reverse of the map you could flip it over, and each route would be shown as a simple vertical line with connecting routes drawn crossways, as stubs.



Next step will be a 2016 version with additional stations, and I'd love to add in the GCL too to tie it all together.

The fact that Translink have not done this is sheer incompetence.  They ay that any transit map should be viewed after turning 90 degrees to show gaps that out minds do not read when viewed in original orientation.

Interesting how the branches do not connect with each other for most routes. That cross town and BUZification of GCL would be helpful.

The rail network sadly does not meet 15 minute standards. I think it would be useful for a map minus most of the rail stations (i.e. the ones with no 15 minute all day service) should be produced (so, cut off most of the Ipswich, Beenleigh, Caboolture, Shorncliffe and Cleveland, basically most of the entire rail network) just to show the government just how starved the core rail backbone is.  :is-
