The proposal for a Light Rail system for Cork City, Ireland. The proposal is from People Before Profit, Ireland’s socialist party. Light rail has long been promised for the city, but recent government initiatives have made it a more likely possibility.

It connects in the north to Cork’s suburban rail system, the regional (underdeveloped) heavy rail system, which connects to other parts of the country (as well as to Northern Ireland).

Transit Maps says:

Of all the types of “bad” transit maps, the poorly rendered “vision for the future” has to be one of the most frustrating. A map like this serves as a massive opportunity to generate excitement for a sustainable, transit-oriented, less car-reliant future in Cork… and this is what was presented? Unfortunately, it just looks shockingly amateur in its execution – which, in turn, reflects poorly on the proposal itself, regardless of the concepts contained within (which also seem to advocate for expansion of the commuter rail network, with stations added or reopened after extended closure).

All-caps labels set at wildly varying angles, poor typography, an ugly call-out box, no legend, clashing colours… need I go on? 

Our rating: Half a star, because it’s not quite as horrific as some maps that I’ve given zero to, but it’s still a very (un)worthy Hall of Shame entrant.
