One day, while doing his normal commute to work on the San Diego trolley, graphic designer Robert Palmer realized that he could do better - with the trolley maps, that is. He noticed a group of confused tourists huddled around one of those big undecipherable maps. He challenged himself to come up with a better solution. This solution is available to all at BetterTrolley.com.

BetterTrolley is “Easy San Diego Trolley Rider Information” and it is very comprehensive. It consists of zoomable Trolley maps done the right way: simple, contrasty, and clear design. He’s even got Rider Alerts (where riders submit alerts and everyone benefits through the website or RSS), local information near the station of your choice (by having the entire line mapped out on Google Maps), as well as a Trolley trip-planner. Oh, and he has also written a humorous FAQ on Trolley etiquette; here’s one of his tips: “Don’t jump or climb over the couplers between train cars. You won’t make it.”

The best thing about BetterTrolley? Robert made it just to help himself and people like him. Kudos, Robert!
