Following on from yesterday’s post, here’s the better unofficial map of Bologna’s under-construction SFM rail network, created by user “Friedrichstrasse” on the Wikimedia Commons. 

Unlike the official map, this one has firmly decided to be a diagram, and the clarity is greatly increased because of it. However, it also shows less information than the official one – no indication of bus interchanges or longer-distance regional or high-speed trains here – so it’s not a like-for-like comparison between the two. Vignola still seems further from Bologna than Modena, purely because of the greater number of stations on that line. Lengthening Modena’s route line to the left (so that Modena’s label lines up with the left-most text below it) would go a long way towards fixing this anomaly, I think.

Our rating: Simple, clean, friendly and usable. Not bad at all. Three stars.
