NUS Internal Shuttle Bus Mapin [ Assignment 6 ]
I had an idea to do such an infographic/map since long ago, when I first entered NUS. I found that it is hard to decipher where the buses go based on the campus maps at the bus stops. This was the original idea which I tried, which incorporate straight lines and looks like an MRT map. However, feedback from my friends is that it is hard to decipher the places as most people are used to looking at the campus map. Hence, I decided to create another version with more curved lines based on the roads on the map. So here’s the new version, along with detailed routes of the different shuttle buses, inspired by LTA’s Key Bus Services Map.
I think it needs some improvement as some of the lines are too closed together.


Comments from the class:
– The lines when put together sort of blend into each other especially near the Central Library area, due to the different contrast of the colours
– Maybe use more contrast colours?
– The break down into the different routes is the strength and allows the routes to be easily deciphered
– Include the bus stop in the Legend
