- Toronto has fairly bad signage once you are in the stations. I see tourists looking perplexed all the time. - Andie Jun 12, 09:06
- This is what I thought until I worked in DC and got asked to explain metro every morning -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 09:04 19
  - I think they do a very poor job of showing you which platform you need. And the fare machines are impossible for tourists. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 09:05 18
    - I do recall the fare machine not being tourist-proof -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 09:08 13
      - At the Smithsonian station, I don't think there is ever NOT a group of confused tourists at the machines. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 09:12 9
        
        To be fair, this probably happen in every city in the touristy areas. - ty97 Jun 12, 09:13 8

        even if you are right, the DC machines are still very badly designed. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 09:16 2
        
        I admitted that clearly and fully. But tourists are tourists everywhere. - ty97 Jun 12, 09:19 1
        
        The first rule of designing an interface: Don't blame the user. If they can't figure it out, you designed it badly. - loosilu Jun 12, 09:20
        
        yeah. I kind of... uh... let's IM some more about packages! -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 09:15
      - did we try to use one once? or am I hallucinating? I remember max had to rescue me from one once. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 09:10 2
        
        Doll, when haven't I had to rescue you from something? -- nm - Max Jun 12, 09:25 1
        
        Aw! a Knight-in-shining-armour! -- nm - 'lia Jun 12, 09:31
    - Haha that is my favorite part, and SmartTrip's for parking kills -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 09:07 3
      - oh, you know what else sucks? No stairs! and someone is always standing on the damn left! -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 09:14 1
        
        *rage* -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 09:15
      - honestly, I have never figured out smarttrips. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 09:13
indeed, but that doesn't mean I can't say the DC system is not nearly as good as others. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:59
