Posted by Pink Jazz on Sat Jul 25 15:56:53 2015, in response to My dream light rail/streecar system for the Phoenix Metro Area, posted by Pink Jazz on Tue Sep 2 00:21:38 2014. I have shared my dream light rail idea with a friend that has been visiting us, and he liked my idea.However, one thing that he was a bit skeptical of was interlining some lines at their endpoints. In my dream system, there would be two pairs of lines that would be interlined, the Orange and the Brown Lines at Chandler Fashion Center, and as well as the Pink and Purple Lines at Superstition Springs Center. My rationale for interlining these lines is to increase operational efficiency and make better use of pay hours for light rail operators. Several Phoenix area bus routes do this already during certain times of the day. However, my friend says that interlining lines would cause potential confusion with riders when they board, thinking that they boarded one line when they actually boarded another. I think potential mis-boarding could be alleviated if the destination signs are changed prior to arriving at the last stop. Multicolor LED destination signs can be used to help riders know what color line they are boarding, displaying the text in the color of the line. What does anyone here think about interlining light rail lines? |
