View (rail) routes by color.

[si404]

Perhaps this is a data processing thing, rather than web, but individual rail routes often have their own colour. It would be nice to be able to have it that you can colour by route colour, rather than by system colour. Presumably colours would need to be added in a csv file.

Low priority.

Nice idea but mainly a urban route thing. I think that it could be used on showroute by default (if specified) but should be optionally on mapview.

Selection might be done via this menu (according to latest modification):

    <option value="system">System Colors</option>
    <option value="travelers">Color by Traveler Count</option>
    <option value="concurrent">Color by Concurrencies</option>
    <option value="plain">Plain</option>
    </select>

Just a new option Route Colors.

Of course it would be something optional, and yes it wouldn't make much sense for many non-urban routes (though systems might have a brand colour) - though some intercity networks have different colours for different routes.

We can easily add more system-wide colors, and could probably match them exactly, and can all be done on the web front end, I think.

If we wanted to do something like make Boston's Green Line green and Red Line red, etc., which is what you suggest, I believe, that would involve much more work.
