On Friday Metro unveiled a new website design, which as far as I’m concerned is a major improvement on previous versions, in particular the extremely wordy one that immediately preceeded it.
The “Reports” tab is a godsend to transit wonks like us. In this respect I believe they’re leapfrogging ST’s site, which has long been the gold standard for planning documents.
Frank at Orphan Road pretty much says everything else that needs to be said.
“Reports” must be a direct response to what the Muni League said a few months ago. :)
Those icons and the rotating banners need to look better, but the frontpage is a huge improvement. Trip planner is right there!
It constantly amazes me how much real estate is taken up by advertising and housekeeping.
