MaxTwo to four colored routes run left to right through their ordered stations on octilinear lines. Stations shared by several routes become one interchange capsule where the routes meet and run side by side before parting with 45° bends; stations on one route are ring markers. Station names sit above or below their marks, clear of every line, under a key of route names.

When to use it
Use when several paths share some steps and not others, and the reader needs to see where they meet and where each goes its own way: learning or career paths sharing core modules, onboarding tracks by role, product workstreams converging on shared milestones, customer journeys by segment sharing touchpoints. Order only: no dates, durations or distances. Not for a single path, for paths that share nothing, or for networks whose routes visit shared stations in conflicting orders.
