Transfer
draw two lines. cross them once. see how far the light gets.
draw metro lines; where two cross, the shared station joins every stop on both and light floods out
A line alone only reaches its own stations. The moment it shares a station with another line, every stop on one reaches every stop on the other, so reach multiplies instead of adds. A network is measured by its interchanges, not its track.
Concepts: networks, connectivity, maps.
