A city map of bus and train stations

I wrote this up quickly after one of the HN readers here asked for a visualisation after my first article:

Great use of OpenStreetMap data!

It would also be interesting to see the distribution of `bus_stop`'s with shelter and seat (full service) verses just a pole. Maybe amenity=shelter or covered=yes - I'm unsure if they're usually on the same node or a separate node (within x many metres).

In Australia there's a considerable variation of bus stop quality. There might be some interesting insights into where the minimum effort bus stops are (council/gov boundaries? transit deserts? who knows.)

Here's two maps of my city (montreal), first is all bus stops and second one is all stops with a shelter:

Thank you for this! I just made my own map for my own city in like 5 minutes, pretty cool to see

Awesome! I'd love to see them - send me some screenshots :)

The London tube very often follows the roads because in the early days they believed they had to and they could pay less to property owners.

It reminded me of this fascinating map: https://cartometro.com/cartes/metro-tram-london/

Do you just paste?

node["highway"="bus_stop"]({{bbox}});

It does nothing on my city.

Use the 'Wizard' on https://overpass-turbo.eu/, paste "highway=bus_stop in $YourCity" and click 'Build and run query'.

This obviously only works if there are mapped bus stops in $YourCity in OpenStreetMap.

Does OSM also store information about lines? When I click a station in Google Maps, it sometimes shows colored lines.

I just quickly looked at it, and bus stops seem to have a tag with the line, might be spotty though
