While the idea is nice for encoding routes, there is a cognitive overload in trying to decipher/comprehend that.

As an example of an alternative, I found the London Tube map much more intuitive to follow for humans. Colored lines with list of stops along the way and transfer points where you could switch to another line.



For what it's worth, stations in London and bus shelters have similar maps for buses, showing a network.

Bus stops have similar maps showing only buses from that stop.
