Metro Map

A process drawn as a subway line on a white ground: the line runs only straight or at 45°, grows station by station with the voice-over, each station lighting only when the line reaches it; a transfer line crosses the key station and a train runs into the terminal. There is also an in-car "this stop / next" strip and a station name sign. Made for timelines, stages, processes and routes.
