Testing Instructions

I'm not married to blue as the color, I just didn't want to use a color we already use on the legend

I think we should consider repurposing yellow for bunched trips. Then we could do something like this:

You thinking we shouldn't differentiate 25% late vs 50% late with different colors like we do today and instead just do red for all late trips?

idreyn commented 2 months ago

Well, I think the system that we have works well, but if we're introducing a color for bunched trips, I think it should be a "warning" color like orange or yellow. My first thought was that we'd no longer be able to use it for slightly late trips, but maybe we could keep it for both?

So basically yes, that's the proposal. But I don't feel very strongly about it.

devinmatte commented 2 months ago

Perhaps we can call out early trips (25%-) and bunched trips (50%-) with the same colors as 25%+ and 50%+?

idreyn commented 2 months ago

yes I think that makes the most sense!
