In my free time, I worked on a personal project to visualize the routes of public transit lines maps. My goal was to create an easy and convenient way to see where a transit line is going through. Searching the web for geographical maps can be laborious, so I used the Openstreetmap dataset, which contains the geographic route of a given transit line along with related metadata such as line number, destination, network and operator.
To get started, I requested a dataset using a specific request language and coded a website layout for visualizing them. The layout was designed to make it convenient to see the metadata and was accompagned by a map for the route and stops. I used a template generator to create different HTML pages to display the information for each transit line.
Finally, I published my work on a hidden internet address so that I could access the website anytime from my pocket. Overall, this project was an enjoyable way to explore my interests and create a useful tool for visualizing public transit routes on a map.
