Hey @maryshak1996 this is a great draft! I think the main thing I'd like to see here is the bus schedule - how often does it run, when is the first one, when is the last one?

Same with the Cape Flyer (train, not bus :) ) - i think it's only fri-sat-sun, so indicating that and times.

@duffy thanks for the feedback and for spotting that typo on my part :P I'll post an update soon

Is it possible to get the walking map on to this so when people print it they can get from the Hyannis Transport Center to the Venue? Not everyone will have mobile data.

Also, the words seem to run together in the preview on the Boston bus side.

Lastly, can we get a separate half page for information on how to get from Hyannis to Boston/NH for the outbounds?

Hey guys, this looks like a very helpful guide! One thing I'm going to suggest is to leave only headers and logo mint green and make the body text black. It would ensure better contrast and readability, as well as establish hierarchy between elements. What do you think?

Huge +1 from me because I am someone who has trouble reading that color. I also think it would be better to use black because we aren't printing these, people will self print. I'd hate for someone to have an unusable document because they were out of color ink or didn't have a color printer.

Thanks for the input everyone :) I made the updates (made body copy black for readability) and added extra scheduling information. I did test prints in both full color and B/W, and all of the text is still very clearly readable in both types
