Bay Area Transit Experiments

Dublin/Pleasanton BART Route
height = time
white dots = MUNI and BART stations
San Francisco is on the left, East Bay is on the right.

Developed with Stamen and Skidmore, Owings & Merill for a conceptual route-map display proposal for the San Francisco Transbay Terminal project. Bay Area transit visualizations show public transit on a map created from transit stations. Each route is a represented as its geographic path, the height of the shape representing time. Early morning routes are closer to the map base getting later in the day the higher they rise. Bart routes are colored blue, SFMTA/MUNI routes are colored in red.

Stop Frequency


Transit stop route frequency is represented by station scale. Station size is represented by the amount of transit stops per hour.




Bay Area stop frequency (BART and MUNI, daily)



[video/mov] The bay area represented by transit stop frequency over a 24 hour period. Busier stops are downtown on Market street and transit depots.



San Francisco stop frequency (BART and MUNI, daily).



[video/mov] The shape of San Francisco is instantly recognizable, represented by transit station stop frequency in one day.
