When describing landmarks, which should you include?

• A. Non-descriptive filler
• B. Weather conditions outside
• C. Clear landmarks such as entrances, platforms, escalators
• D. Noise levels in the station

Answer: (C)

Describing landmarks should focus on features that riders can actually use to orient themselves quickly. Clear landmarks like entrances, platforms, and escalators provide stable, visible reference points that people can locate on a map or in the station itself. These features are usually steady and easy to spot, making them reliable cues for navigation. In contrast, weather conditions outside vary with time and season, and noise levels inside the station change with crowd size and equipment; neither offers a dependable cue for pinpointing a location. Non-descriptive filler adds no navigational value. So, the best practice is to mention clear, actionable landmarks that riders can rely on to find their way.
