These sketches just show my initial ideas. There are little explanations beside each sketch.

Here is the same as above, but done in illustrator with colour.

You can't see this very well, but my idea for this one was to have the yonge, university line with all the stops on it, but they would actually be represented by rectangles and those rectangles would change is size, depending on the amount of people at that sation. Also I wanted to show each individual person at that station. You would be able to see them coming and going from station to station. Although I thought this was a cool idea, but then I realised that it was too 'big brother' and would be virtually impossible to actually execute. So I decided to go in a different direction.

This sketch is close to my final approach. Each bar represents a subway station on the Yonge/University line. It would change in height, which would illustrate the number of people at that station. I also thought that as a train rolled into the station the bar could vibrate or change shape in some way. I was also thinking of doing something with colour, like showing the wait time or something. At the top is a timeline, with a slider. As you move the slider you go through the hours and the days, and if you click on the timeline, you can zoom into minutes.
