I completely disagree with this statement. Plannes of an urban modern network must keep in mind the easiness of a metro for commuters and tourists. "eventually people get used to it" is very naive. Talking about hte easiness of our SkyTrain system, I would only give a 6/10 because:
A) Trains going to different destinations
B) Inconsistant signage (expo vs. millennium)
C) Missing signage (Commerical Drive)
D) Bad Messages that do not explain Transfers (they could say something like, "The next station is Broadway. Connecting Commercial Drive Station SkyTrain Millennium Line and the 99-B Line).
If we were to add the orange line in that form, it will just make the network even more confusing... =S
Now my line is different from Nutterbug's approach. From the many studies TransLink has done, most of the commuters in the South of Fraser travel within the region. Thus, my line allows passengers from Guilford Town Centre (large bus hub in the future?) travelling to other parts of Surrey such as the Newton without having to make a transfer.
But otherwise, I would prefer Nutterbug's approach as it would look really nice on the map =)
