The A Team group
- Based on consistency
- Areas with up and down escalators → tactile marker to indicate direction
- Large elevator system, not reliant on touch screens → railings of appropriate length
- Consistency of stairs → Risers and treads always at the same place
- Tactile and audio announcement → multimodal wayfinding
Challenging group
- Consistency → street designed that stop signs & bus stops in the same place
- Transit has varying places to get in/out
- Construction sites→ hard to get around & never the same → no curb cuts

- Curb cuts in center marked with colour/texture to get out of vehicle safely
