I’ve been advocating this for years, and persuaded San Antonio to do this kind of mapping in response to the successful Frequent Service brand in Portland. Adelaide, Australia does the same kind of branding, and I believe Brisbane will be introducing it soon.

It’s a great idea and a nicely designed map, but as a heavy transit user in LA, I find that sometimes I am taking less heavily used routes (read: obscure) and I need the individual timetables as well. Mostly I need to know if I take the bus out to the hinterlands to go eat at that restaurant I’ve never been to, will I be able to get a bus back home?i.e., when do the buses stop running on this line?

Thanks for the mention. It’s actually David Alpert’s blog but I’m a regular contributor.
