Hey! I made this map of a system for Kuwait City, where I grew up. It has elements from the few official plans that have been made public, but with a greater focus on high density immigrant communities who would benefit significantly from an expansion in public transit. I experimented with a dark background, but this worked best.

Nice work, Rahul! I agree that a lighter background works better here, though there could perhaps be just a little more contrast between the land and the sea. The proposed network is represented cleanly, and seems to map fairly well to the real-life layout of Kuwait City (at least from what I can see with a quick look at Google Maps!).

I do like the interesting and unique interchange symbol, and the bilingual station labels are handled well throughout. I do think that Rahul needs to add line numbers or letters to his coloured bullets and add those bullets to the ends of the lines on the map for better accessibility. As is often the case, Rahul’s Red and Green lines appear extremely similar for colour-blind users and there’s nothing on the map itself to help such users distinguish between them. Adding the relevant terminus station names for each line to the legend would also help a bit here.

Finally, I really, really like Rahul’s proposed Metro logo, which riffs rather wonderfully off Kuwait’s flag. Another in the endless line of variations on the humble letter “M”!
