misinformationfun fact: commuter rail networks in the region of Madrid don't have a "line 6". this is because in their culture that number signifies bad omen.
@kitten@guineu_roja see, for me, a good destination sign includes line number, line color, and destination (this display is actually not broken in reality, it’s just impossible to take a good photo of these LED displays). But can you imagine that on a 446?
@lis@kitten I'll just say that it makes absolutely zero sense that in a station with 10+ platforms and trains every minute, the trains don't show their line (even INSIDE) and you have to somehow learn the terminal station of each line because that's the only thing they say. ESPECIALLY if for some god forsaken reason you decide to have trains going both ways in the same platform
@guineu_roja@kitten especially with a network structure as weird as Madrid's. But at least their terminal stations usually sound different to each other, unlike Martorell and Manresa
misinformation@kitten it’s because they don’t want to scare away the people who see and think “oh no, complicated circle line”. Cercanías de Madrid is notorious for its easy to understand lines, they want to keep it that way
