Noticed the new U2 station indicators? Sadly, the design falls short:
- Clutter: 6 visual states make scanning harder
- Redundancy: Labels, circles & lines add complexity, with low contrast
- Inconsistency: “Rathaus” is outlined but isn’t a transfer

A section of the Vienna U2 metro line map showing stations labeled with different visual styles. Stations like “Schottenring” and “Volkstheater” have outlined labels indicating transfer points, while “Rathaus” also has an outlined label despite not being a transfer station. The map includes color-coded connections to other metro lines (U3, U4, U1) and uses a combination of borders, circles, and lines to denote station statuses, resulting in a visually cluttered design.

Agree, but it would be a little friendlier using the display names along with (or even instead of) the domain name when mentioning someone.
