ULESSONS FROM LONDON

midreview

Branding, placement of line on Underground map, and way finding are important to put the line in the public consciousness.

operating trainsdaily performanceplanning + dev.project delivery

LOROL TFL

fares + ticketingtimetable dev.marketing

Regeneration was seen primarily in areas of targeted investment

Economic development can be better guided with government work to assemble sites that will fulfill its economic development/land development goals.

Robust, well-integrated rail service is necessary for long-term economic growth

Making your transit system more like a grid and less radially has network benefits and increases mobility.

Measurable success in phases builds support for a network.
