1. plan alternatives
to skirt around tube and train closures (There are regular
weekend engineering work closures.)
2. provides peace of mind
on route (London's transport network suffers regular
breaks.)
3. buses, tubes and trains are all on one map
(The only map to do this for fare zones 1 &
2.)
4. pocket sized and discreet (You
don't feel like a tourist using it.)
5. walking is gaining
popularity (discover routes with the walk
map)
6. low price (compare our £2.95
sales price with London's most expensive metro fares in the
world)
7. read what others have
said about our maps (your feedback
welcome)
Unlike the tube map which
is an underground linkage map designed in the 1930's the all-on-one is a 21st
century overground or surface map based on today's centres of activity in
London 'called nodes' which are connected by bus routes and rail/underground
links. Thus the map is much more realistic about the true geography of London
although we do expand the central area where the density of people and activity
are the highest. Significantly we take a user or traveller's view rather than
an operator's view such as TfL. This independence allows us to integrate the
transport pattern more easily than worrying about corporate objectives of
separate identities for the tube etc. You and I just want to get there and get
home again!
Because the transport network of a great city like London
is so rich there are many options available if one or more links go down.
Transport of last resort is our feet and we have an excellent walk map for
central London on the rear of our all transport map all-on-one which
also shows how to reconnect with transport centres when you reach them. We also
include the simplest night bus service information for those leaving from
central London late at night or early in the morning.
The benefit of the
all-on-one is that because of its long lasting pocket format you can always
have it with you when you need it. The freebie download shows you what the map
is like but may get easily crumpled (depending on the paper you print it on)
and so is less likely to find itself in your pocket in 3 weeks or three months
time when your train has been cancelled and you need to find some other way
home. So do get the download but do also consider the proper covered pocket map
itself.
Having alternative
transport options on your person will make you and the people you can advise
around you, feel more secure and ultimately help restore yours and others
enjoyment of living, visiting and working in London. |
