A glass dome by the Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata over the concourse of Formosa Boulevard station, where the Red and Orange lines cross. It took four and a half years. The station is open 05:55–00:25.
- Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr 30 min door to door.
- 1 hr 30 min door to door needs a 3.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
The Dome of Light and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 1 hr 30 min goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 20 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Routes that already include it
Finished days timed from official timetables and our estimates, with this stop in them.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
