The first question to ask before writing--what is the goal of the itinerary?
The goal for all itineraries on Unanchor is the following:
The user of the travel itinerary will be able to travel to the destination and get around using only this itinerary. After finding this itinerary, they can finally stop researching!
A good itinerary will be unambiguous
When giving directions to a location, help the traveler find it easily by:
Providing the names of bus stops, subways stops, tourist sites, and street names in the local language (written and then romanized as well)
Providing all possible bus numbers when applicable. Include which side of the street they should be standing on.
Use landmarks to help the traveler know they’re going in the right or wrong direction. Example: If you pass a 7-Eleven, you’ve gone the wrong way, but if you pass a Dunkin’ Donuts, you’re on the right track.
When getting off subways, which exit should they use and which direction should they immediately turn after leaving the subway exit?
Provide maps. Do a Google Image search for the city or use Google Maps. Using a program like Windows Paint you can even trace the route on a map.
