[Design] Bad design: Lausanne’s public transport
This morning, I was amazed by the new design of the Lausanne Public Transport vending machines. Instead of putting a map with names of the different places (the most common way to give a global representation of space), they put a list of names (bus/metro stops) in alphabetical order. This limits travel hack (like you know the area where you’re heading but not the place’s name). Besides, our university has 3 or 4 stops but they did not put the name of the university, they just put the names of the stops!

bien envoye! j’ai eu le meme sentiment, leur design est tellement mauvais que tu as mal a la tete avant meme de commencer a lire… en comparaison, et avec l’aide d’un ergonome, les TPG ont fait bcp mieux (essaie de photographier leur machine).
