      256. Even a train ticket machine will allow you to reserve a seat. Here, the UI actually tells you which car is the least occupied at any given moment, which is super thoughtful.pic.twitter.com/iXterBU0nw

      257. As a consequence, there is a lot of signage directing you to the appropriate car.pic.twitter.com/5w9qQuufbR

      Each train has its own map, and in front of you, there is often even a mini version of that map.pic.twitter.com/YHTMHcMYSD

      And for trains without reserved seats, there are still interesting systems. Here, each door position was labeled with a symbol, and my train was announced as “queue up anywhere you see a triangle.” So much better than an enigmatic “board center.” *cough*BART*cough*pic.twitter.com/aKuA4RBauN

      258. By the way, it was cool to queue up for a train called Thunderbird. (Other fav name: Eveningliner.)pic.twitter.com/jnmiOalZLF

      260. This cool little UI shows you how far your train is from the current station in a way that reminded me of old videogames.pic.twitter.com/AFNY82YL49

      261. This perplexed me. A map on a train with two sliding transparent sections. Do they serve a purpose? Do they prevent people from touching the map itself and damaging it?pic.twitter.com/7BhsYx148H

      maybe it’s to count how many stops until destination?

          I meant that maybe it’s for the user to count stops from their station but also from any other station. Your second point (so users don’t actually touch the map) also fits. Too many people touching the map can cause the markings to fade right?

          Yeah, I thought it might make it easier to orient yourself – like some people use rulers when they read.
