My students and I got really confused by choosing the starting point. I think you could of just told us in the text of the web page. It set up a poor evaluation context.
Putting that aside, we got lost on the map. the color > Letter > soft key mapping were not apparent w/o further direction and the breakdown was arbitrary. It might have been more appropriate to select a line. Most people who use BART think of their stops based on the line they are using. I think you got caught exposing the system model of the interface (btw, I accepted the softkey UI approach as a constraint you were working on) and you found a way to slice it all 5x5 so to speak. When I went to the alpha list, I expected to see a breakdown of the alphabet that allowed me to drill down deeper, as opposed to a "horizontal scroll" through the entire list of stations. The checkout system was for me the most successful piece, though I think you need some work on the multiple ticket language and flow. I got it, but I thought it needed better visual cues. As an added value, it might be interesting once someone picks a destination that the information at the top adds 2 pieces of info: next train countdown & time to destination. Good luck w/ it! And thanx for sharing! --dave -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
