Description

Passenger information holds the transport system together, but where people transfer, it often fails. Anyone traversing European train stations today encounters a patchwork of colors, fonts, symbols, and systems. This diversity conceals a central problem: the lack of coherence in conveying information.

The Passenger Information Guide sees itself as a design tool that brings order to the visual communication of public transport systems. Not as a one-size-fits-all solution, but as a systematic approach for consistent, understandable, and intermodally connectable guidance systems. At the center is the concept of Sign Flow, a cross-media flow of information that shapes transitions between systems and makes them accessible.

The result is a tool for cities, transport companies, planners, and designers—a plea for a public space where orientation is a matter of course, not a privilege.
