Mysterious2train Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share #27 Posted September 8, 2012 Fixed that for you. Picked Sept. 1st as the 1st Sunday in September. http://pdfuploader.c...t_Page_2013.pdf This just had me thinking, I know money's tight, but as far as Service investments go, I guess the mythical Bx50, Q94, planned B62 to Midtown, etc. are going to remain just that? About the schedules, since SBS got blue, and Express green, I think the MTA should make everything Limited-related purple. Examples: http://pdfuploader.c...le_LTD_text.pdf http://pdfuploader.c..._Page_split.pdf http://pdfuploader.c..._Front_Page.pdf Granted, I know the blue-and-purple split for Local and Limited routes (which would be most Limited routes anyway) is awfully... colorful.

Mysterious2train Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share #28 Posted September 14, 2012 Remember when I mentioned I thought Limited timetables should be purple? Here's an example of what I meant. Who needs Gorgor's schedule maker now? Although, this was pretty easy to do since I was only changing color and a few other things, nothing big. Also the fonts the MTA [from the Helevetica family] don't exist in Inkscape so they look pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted September 15, 2012 Share #29 Posted September 15, 2012 WOW... I prefer Gorgor's schedule maker though... May I make a request? M12: Between West Village and West Side, via 11th/12th Avenues. Date: September 1, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share #30 Posted September 15, 2012 http://pdfuploader.c..._Page_20131.pdf It's pretty understandable that Gorgor's schedule maker is preferable, since the formatting is for the already done for you. Similarly, I made the M98 timetable very quickly, since I wasn't changing much aside from color. Actually thinking up a full legit timetable and formatting it would take some time. Irrelevant, but Inkscape can't arrange documents into individual pages, thus why I had everything joined together. I suppose seperate pages vs. individual documents doesn't make that much of a difference, but I want to find and master a program that does, so my timetables will be that little bit better.

FamousNYLover Posted October 29, 2012 Share #44 Posted October 29, 2012 Is possible to do Bee-Line bus schedule cover in Bee-Line format or MTA format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share #45 Posted October 29, 2012 I don't see why one couldn't edit Bee-Line schedules. Of course, I've never really looked at Bee-Line.

Mysterious2train Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share #46 Posted November 18, 2012 I tried to make an actual schedule, but it looks really choppy. The MTA's fonts aren't available in Inkscape. Maybe Adobe Illustrator will offer better luck, but I never got around to using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted November 18, 2012 Share #47 Posted November 18, 2012 I'm editing one myself, using Inkscape... I guess it's OK for a first attempt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share #48 Posted November 23, 2012 That's pretty good for your first try! Yeah, figuring out which fonts to use is annoying. The MTA tends to use the Helevetica family, which as you can see aren't on Inkscape. I tend to use: Arial Black size 15 for the text at the top that says 'Bus Timetable Effective...' Although, sometimes I try to use Arial Black and Inkscape just registers the bold version of regular Arial, which isn't really the same, so I just copy and paste the text. Impact for the Route name Arial Black size 16 for Bold text on the bottom and Arial size 15 Italic for the Italic text The 'runs between X and Y' text I just keep in Helevetica, even though it's not registered it doesn't look off like the other pieces of text. Sometimes the text is jumbled together, so you have to delete the text and re-type it, and it'll have proper spacing. I like to use the top of NYCT schedules and the MTA Bus bus graphic (like this) just in anticipation of their merger sometime soon. But that's just my style. Do what works for you. I used to save everything I made on Inkscape in PNG image form, but I started saving them in PDF form and uploading them to pdfuploader.com. It's actually legit. I was looking for a while for a site to host PDFs. Maybe someday, I'll wake up and all my files will be gone or I'll have to pay for them or something, but for now it's really convenient. Inkscape can only open one page of a PDF at a time, which I'm sure you've seen, other programs can stitch stuff together, but I've yet to use them. As for making my own timetables, I guess I could copy paste the image of the timetable from Gorgor's site and compress it, but it would look weird and I kind of want to make authentically, plus I'd have to re-color everything blue or Teal for SBS schedules with paint, which would look kind of choppy. Adobe Illustrator is bad because the schedules are password-protected, which I didn't realize before. RTS CNG Command used Adobe Illustrator to edit his maps, which I don't know how he did, you'd have to ask him. I had no idea how to do this stuff at first, but once you get hang of it, it'll feel great doing graphics yourself and not waiting on anyone else. I'll make another post soon for map-making. Google Maps is nice for showing distances and stop locations, but I think Inkscape is a lot better for just making maps, even though it takes a little longer.
