Traces of Transportation

















A web of electric bus lines in downtown San Francisco.
Traces of mobility woven above the streetscape. Visual reminders of paths, networks and vital infrastructures. Like the determined paths of subways and skytrains, the bus lines become determined, not limitless like the urban grid it floats upon. Visual cues alert travelers of crossing the path of a moving object...follow the line to find the next stop.

How can these visual cues disclose path type (color, shape, coded). How can they inform schedule, time table or final destinations? What other functions can this web bring to the city?
