What is a Spider Map?
A spider map is a schematic diagram of transit options serving a particular locality
Spider Maps have evolved to include places walkable from location.

Project Purpose
• Evaluate what makes Spider Maps Effective• Apply Spider Maps to MARTA• Automate the creation of paper Spider Maps for MARTA• Create web application for MARTA Station Spider Maps
• Provide recommendations for Spider Map design

Spider Maps for MARTA• Shown
interest• Area map for
Five Points Station• Feeder bus
system is good for Spider Maps

LONDON• Schematic
• Service period
• Connections to subway
• Amount of Spider Maps
• No headways
• No service times
• No references to orient riders using the schematic map

WASHINGTON D.C.• Headway information
• “YOU ARE HERE”
• “How to Use This Map”
• Multiple scale maps
• Routes from location highlighted
• Number of Spider Maps

LOS ANGELES• Interstate references
• Colors represent service type (local, express, rapid, interstate)
• Destination Table and Area Map
• Only one Spider Map
• Only shows rail stations, no rail lines
• No references to orient riders using the schematic map

Who has Spider Maps &What Makes them Effective?
City Effective Pieces of Information
London • Local bus stop connection area map• Amount of Spider Maps in system
Washington D.C. • Headway information• “You are here”• Instructions• All routes, highlighted ones from selected station
Los Angeles • Colors for service type• Destination table
Boston • Headway information• All other routes faded

GIS Output
• User friendly• Basemap
automatic update• Flexible layout
• Cannot insert the frequency table automatically
• Cannot change route labels automatically
