The tiny labelling of route names within their respective route lines is next to useless: another approach should be used to identify routes for color-blind users. The labelling could still use some work – different sizes of type are used, and the labels on the south-western leg of the Red Line could easily be set horizontally instead of at an angle. The extra space afforded to downtown SLC works wonders for clarity and usability – gone are the ugly lines pointing to stations from awkwardly placed labels.
