About

The MTA Riding Experience Improvement mind map template breaks down the subway rider's journey into six key phases—DIRECTION / NAVIGATION, TICKET SELLER / COLLECTOR, BOARDING, RIDING, OFF BOARDING, and EXITING—with 47 nodes covering stakeholder involvement and improvement possibilities. Designed for transit planners, designers, and urban strategists, this MTA mind map template identifies specific pain points such as 'Signage that dictates direction at staircase' and 'clearer broadcast system (vocal and visual)' to enhance commuter satisfaction. It maps collaborations with entities like 'NYC Department of City Planning' and 'Technology Company (Google)' to propose actionable solutions, making it a practical MTA cheat sheet for transit experience overhauls.
