This is a map of the La Paz—El Alto cable car, an urban transit system in Bolivia's capital area. The cable car isn't a typical train- or bus-based system, so I find it necessary to reflect the key differences in the design.

Specifically:

• With an average of 3.2 stations per line, it's probably better to list lines next to each station than to list them once in the legend.
• And 26 stations isn't a lot, so each one can show more information, like services available at the station and location details.
• Stations are spread out unevenly, and travel time between two neighboring stations can be up to 8 minutes, so showing travel times might be a good idea.
• While the headway is extremely short (allegedly just 12 seconds!), each cabin only fits 10 people. I've read about (former?) limitations related to luggage but couldn't find any official rules.
