Interested in directions from one stop on one to another in one of my fictional metro systems? Wondering how long it'd take you to get from Point A to Point B? Introducing wayfinding. This functionality lives in a macro-enabled spreadsheet in select maps (look for the Wayfinding tag). Select any two stations, and it will give you directions between them -- including transfers -- and calculate the total travel time.
Movement assumptions:
- Trains move at 45 mph.
- Each station stop add 2 minutes to each travel segment.
- Each transfer adds a total of 8 minutes to the trip.
See below for an example from Madison, where travel from Ridgewood to the Fairgrounds takes 29 minutes and involves one transfer..
