Good try, though the labelling is very haphazard and random, and it doesn't really help you navigate the system (aren't there more stops?)  Likewise with those points of interest - they're of minimal help to understanding and navigating the tram, even with so few stations overall.

Not sure depots help the customer navigate the network unless of course they're terminal stations. The lines could be made better as well - for instance in one single dash instead of these :)  The labels should be all horizontal or at least in a few directions, not put at random in five different angles. 

All in all a good first draft - but there could be a lot more to improve :> bit of a shame, as the Old Town layout itself looks really interesting and I feel there could be a lot to talk about and map out etc

Oh, and you forgot to name the Gold Line stations, and even give it a terminal station.

For a transit map, i'd suggest following line maps like they have in large cities such as Los Angeles. A white background would immediately make it easier to read, and as stated by someone else really can benefit from consistent lining of text. The font is okay, but should be bold. Following the lines vs points of interest, i'd suggest direct connections to all of your tourism points. And for the purposes of keeping it interesting, if you have more lines you're planning to build or extra connections available then the map can be spruced up a bit by showing those lines, as a dashed one with all of the stops on those lines.

And if you feel like going the extra mile, you could give a rough estimate for timetables and the types of trains used if you happen to know the type you're using. That, or try to include information about the line itself or how the company operates; Amtrak includes that extra padding on their timetables. An example such as this one should help, but you don't have to emulate every drop of ink on it.

Not bad for a rough draft, just massage it a bit with these tips and you'll go far.
