This is possibly the best transit diagram I have seen submitted to Wikipedia. Lovely, minimalistic design with bright, eye-catching colours and good typography. No geography at all, which is actually appropriate for a heavy rail system like this – used most by commuters who travel the length of their line from their home station (on a spoke) to the city (hub).

Have We Been There? I’ve been to Boston, but haven’t travelled on the commuter rail system.

What We Like: Clean design, bright colours, easy-to-read all-horizontal type.

What We Don’t Like: Not a lot to dislike about this. Some people may want an indication of connections to Boston’s subway lines, but that would ruin the simplicity.

Our rating: 5 stars!
