Shanghai (via nekoko1206)

Every time I ride the DC Metro, I remember how much easy to understand and just downright better the Shanghai subway was. Notice the wayfinding: the sign above the door shows the next station for the train on that side of the platform as well as the station it’s coming from; the map next to those show you all stops after that, lined up with the direction the train is travelling (in DC it’s often on vertical pillars, which make little sense); and the arrows on the ground that show you where to wait when people get off the train. Not to mention the glass wall that prevents you from falling onto the tracks.
