Not super geographically accurate but makes sense for keeping track of stops. Don't seem to be able to find an example on the computer.
like this?

I'm going to suggest that we use that as a reference point.

Longer term I'd really like to see Metro Transit add dynamic displays like they have on newer NYC subway cars. They display the current stop, next stops, and final stop, along with the scheduled time between each stop shown.

We are working on that too! We just put out an RFP for a pilot.

Glad to have a man on the inside here! Getting those and tap to pay will be such a nice change in terms of usability for the infrequent transit user.

Yes, we just put out a RFP for a pilot for bus and rail.
