Show more trains at a time #23

Open Benjaneb opened 4 months ago

Benjaneb commented 4 months ago

The page showing the metro currently only views the two upcoming trains, which is not very useful when one happens to come in a minute and you want to see the one after. Showing more trains at a time and displaying two columns, one for each direction like with the buses, would be nice.

We could easily increase the sliding banner limit, but I'm hesitant about a redesign. In my mind, mimicking SL's sign design is not lazy but deliberate to make MetaSL fun.

SL has updated their signs in many places to fit two or three train arrivals vertically at the same time so I don't think this old sliding banner design is as prevalent. Just using the exact same design as the bus schedule for the metro schedule could work.

It is a point for usability that not all pages are the same layout-wise. It makes it easy to distinguish what you are looking at quickly (relevant since you only see each page for 10 seconds currently). But maybe that can be accomplished in some other way?
