A good map needs hotzones. Places where people congregate or intersect. I like cog1 a lot for this, with it's single main hallway and well defined traffic flow.

People travel from one node to another. Placing the appropriate amenities at, around, or on route to those nodes is a good idea. Common sense, yeah, but thinking about station traffic in terms of nodes and probabilities really helps the design process. Even if it's just doodling traffic lines on a map in mspaint.
