Showing the direction of travel (north, south, east, west, [anti]clockwise, etc) on metro platforms instead of the final station(s) on the line could do wonders for usability. Compass points are universal; I wouldn't need to consult a map while navigating underground corridors.

I get more confused than I ought to about downtown and uptown. I mean, is the town on a hill or in a valley?

I seriously didn't know that. So "up" means "north" and "down" means "south"? So arbitrary...

Just like I found out the other day, you "orient" a map, because east used to be at the top

Just stick to midtown - it's a safe bet.

Isn't "midtown" just where I am, wherever I am?
