Fantasy Map: Victoria Integrated Transit Authority

Update: now with more routes in Fairfield!

Introduction: This is a fantasy/proposed transit network for Victoria, BC, Canada. I’ve been working on this off-and-on since the summer of 2011. It’s been a long process because I’ve tried to make this work not only as a nice looking graphic, but also as a maybe, somewhat, kinda plausible and functioning transit network. No destroying entire neighbourhoods and no monorails. However, with that in mind, I should mention I have absolutely no background in urban or transit planning. I have a few transit books and I follow @humantransit. So if you do this for a living and I’ve just made your head hurt, sorry.

Sometimes I’m able to trick myself into thinking that I live in California, photos like this help. Why’d you leave me, sunshine?

Just a taste of the magic of Summit Park.

This is a two minute walk from my front door. Definitely take this region’s beauty for granted sometimes. Taken with an iPhone 4 and edited with Camera+.

Drinking coffee and reading the ‘papes like my Grandpappy probably did.

Except for the fact that this is a straight up staged shot due to the fact that I have an iPhone and quite literally have no need for this waste of paper.
