Fantasy Transit Maps (Louisville, money, Connecticut, Kansas)

Fort Worth, Texas:



All four streetcar lines would converge at the two yellow dots downtown. The yellow dots are existing commuter rail stations, and white dots are planned commuter rail stations. My plan is to have commuter rail lines (not drawn) from the suburbs feed into this streetcar system at the yellow and white dots.

There is nothing special about Panther Island, South Main, or Gateway Park at the moment, but there are large-scale revitalization plans in the works for those areas.

The black dashed line would be elevated - perhaps a monorail instead of a streetcar.

How do you make these 'fantasy' maps?

I used PowerPoint and drew lines over a map I captured.

After finishing my streetcar plan, I decided to create a commuter rail plan:



The blue line is the existing commuter rail, and the red line is an already planned commuter rail. The green and yellow lines are my ideas.

The black dashed line would probably be a monorail to the stadium, ballpark, and Six Flags. However, I'm worried about it's capacity to handle big games (this is the reason the yellow line doesn't go north to the speedway). Both the stadium and ballpark have a lower capacity than the speedway, though.

The white dots are park and ride stations, and the yellow dots are not. All rail lines would converge at both downtown stations (T&P and ITC).

This isn't so much fantasy, but it's what-if for the Washington DC Metrorail:

Just bring it back in Jacksonville and I'd shut up!

To the elevated/subway add the following lines: Barton-Goring Hts-Hull St,

Covent-Wallsend

Joplain-Belmont-Neopol Intl

That would avoid a lot of zig zagging.
