\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

It now shows a railway line which was recently integrated into the urban fare zone. The line is thinner because of its longer intervals.<\/p>\n

Line 2 no longer has a callout box! It has an extra indication in its middle. CADAM station is now in a geographically correct position.<\/p>\n

Nearly all line 1 station names now face right, and are therefore easier to read. The map is now using my default<\/a> typeface, Atkinson Hyperlegible.<\/p>\n

Ground interchanges are now indicated more clearly.<\/p>\n

I simplified the colors a bit, too. Line 2 and the sea’s name now use the coat of arms’ blue, while parks and gardens use line 3’s green.<\/p>\n
