I wish the survey had included a page for general comments - how else are we supposed to point out typos like the misspelling of Wiehle Avenue as "Weihle"?

Would a better implementation of subtitles be basing their use on how close a supplemental place is to the stop? One clear example is Vienna. It may be the closest station to Fairfax and the main campus of GMU, but it's certainly not walking distance to either location.

If a supplemental place is close enough to a stop to be within reasonable walking distance, should it be part of the main station name? If the supplemental place is far enough away that you're taking another form of transit to get there (e.g., the buses to Fairfax and GMU from Vienna), then should the supplemental place should be bumped down to a subtitle, or removed altogether and given a bus symbol like occurs on the current map for the 5A and B30 buses to the airports?

Of course, if you get too overzealous with marking up the rail map with bus symbols (e.g., if they started adding bus markers for the termini of the Circulator routes), it could make the map too difficult to read or require changes more frequently than is practical.

Thoughts?
