Commuters’ group hits LRTA for ‘beauty salon’ signages
The Commuters of the Philippines scored the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) on Saturday for installing directional signages that it described as hard to read.
The group’s founder, Julius Dalay, is at the center of a debate on the aesthetics and design elements of train station signages.
Why is this important? “Because [coherent standards] breed familiarity,” Dalay said.
