openstreetmap-tools

A collection of command-line tools for working with OpenStreetMap data.

Tools

osm-pt-geojson

Fetch an OSM public transport route relation and list its stops, or export the route as GeoJSON.

Usage

osm-pt-geojson list-stations <relation_id>
osm-pt-geojson route-between <relation_id> <from_station> <to_station> [-o FILE]
osm-pt-geojson full-route <relation_id> [-o FILE]

List stops on a route:

$ osm-pt-geojson list-stations 18892969
Route: Bus A1: Bristol Airport → Bristol Bus Station
Stops (21):
   1. Airport Terminal
   2. Airport Tavern
   ...
  21. Bus Station

Export a segment between two stops as GeoJSON:

$ osm-pt-geojson route-between 18892969 "Airport Terminal" "East Street" -o segment.geojson

Export the full route as GeoJSON:

$ osm-pt-geojson full-route 18892969 -o route.geojson

Omit stop points from GeoJSON output:

$ osm-pt-geojson full-route 18892969 --no-stops -o route.geojson

GeoJSON is written to stdout if -o is not given.

Output format

A GeoJSON FeatureCollection containing:

• A LineString feature for the route geometry, with name, ref, from, to, and route properties from the OSM relation tags.
• A Point feature for each stop, with a name property (omitted with --no-stops).
