Well, the design reflects 1970s thinking, for sure. I remember as a kid (1977-78 or so) going to the Transit Museum (or Exhibit) and they handed out a glossy flyer depicting new stations, and the pencil drawings looked very similar to the Archer Ave line- in fact, thinking on it, they probably WERE those stations. I also remember my mom suggesting to me that there would never be any new stations opened again.But in any event, the square lines, mustard-colored (like McDonald's) tiles reflect the times in which the stations were designed. |
