Zoom functions and offline download options mean you can plan routes at home and refer to the map on the move without losing context about interchange stairs and lift locations.
Line Colors and Station Codes for Quick Recognition
Each line now features a distinct color band and a bold three-digit station code that appears on platforms, maps, and navigation apps. This reduces confusion between similarly named stations and supports faster decision-making during peak hours.
