Color Coded maps for WRTA?

Not quite what I ment. Notice there is red lines. It means 40 minutes after the hour at Federal Station. Orange is 10 and 40 minutes after the hour. Thin blue line is 10 minutes after the hour.

I found this map on the wrta website - color coded with all the fixed routes on it.

The WRTA bus schedules should also contained a map showing all of the fixed routes.

Example
I have a 36-Glenwood bus schedule in front of me.  It has a map showing the bus leaving downtown Youngstown and arriving at the Southern Park Mall.  Nowhere on the schedule does it show the relationship between the 36-Glenwood and all the other fixed route buses.

  I just got an Email concerning a Washington, D.C. Metro rail contest to make a new map. At first glance, Metrorail has been using color coded maps since it started in the '70's. Other transit have been using color coding for their bus and rail for a while. They are always trying to refine the maps to make them easier to understand. Maybe we can get posters here to come up with some ideas to clear up a lot of confusion where routes go. It doesn't make any difference if the city is large, medium, or small. One step to make the system easier to use,  more people riding, and utilize the new farboxes with offering passes for anyone's needs.
