This is a collection of APIs, tools and other cool things that access OpenStreetMap to find or deliver information about public transportation.
Generate horizontal line maps that show stops (including one-ways). Currently a bug exists that may show some stops twice. The API generates an SVG with each map. Here is how the URL structure works: http://www.overpass-api.de/api/sketch-line?network=NETWORK&ref=LINE&operator=OPERATOR
, where NETWORK
is a transport network, like the VVO in Germany, LINE
is a line number, for example "12" for the tram line in Dresden, Germany, and OPERATOR
is a vehicle operator underneath the network, like DVB. This would produce the following SVG (converted to PNG to display here):
Generate schematic line maps that show stops. Currently a bug exists that may show some stops twice. The API generates an SVG with each map. Here is how the URL structure works:
http://www.overpass-api.de/api/draw-line?network=NETWORK&ref=LINE
, where NETWORK
is a transport network, for example the VVO in Germany, and LINE
is a line number, for example "8" for the tram line in Dresden, Germany. This would produce the following SVG (converted to PNG to display here):
