Research: Zone Systems


Vancouver's 3-Zone Map


London's 9-Zone Map

Notes about Zones:
- in Vancouver, everytime you enter a zone, you pay additional fare
- in Vancouver and London, Zones are named by number and labeled with a colour
- in London, passengers are given visual indication that there are entering or leaving zones, Vancouver's system should do the same (indicating with signage or simply by strong colour themes that would clearly denote "current" and "next" zones
- Mike suggested that we could even name our zones by colour and not by number - not a bad idea... except for people who are colour blind or for people who do not speak English?
