Vancouver's planning agency TransLink has released a "frequent network map" to highlight the core of its public transport network. See http://www.translink.ca/en/Be-Part-of-the-Plan/Frequent-Transit-Network.aspx.

The map shows those services that run every 15 minutes or better, where this frequency is guaranteed until at least 9pm every day of the week, commencing at or before 6am on weekdays, 7am on Saturdays and 8am on Sundays.

The importance of such a map is that it highlights the routes of greatest value to new and infrequent users, land-use planners, and travellers to unfamiliar parts of the city. It also simplifies the view of the network for users in general.

Sydney could do the same.
