San Jose. The Santa Clara VTA’s map, frankly, blows. In a place like San Jose, which is one endless suburb, a diagram like VTA’s is useless. The whole point of tube-style maps is to simplify extremely complicated systems into something manageable.  Since San Jose only has two lines, there’s a  lot of value in showing where VTA light rail runs relative to the freeway network.
