Swiss Public Transport Stations

This script extracts the list of the public transport stations of Switzerland from the dataset offered by www.fahrplanfelder.ch. The main output of the script is a SQLite DB defined using the schema defined in resources/sql/01-schema.sql

Steps:

• clone this repo
• download and unzip the latest data from http://www.fahrplanfelder.ch
• update the FPLAN_PATH in the Rakefile
• run
  • rake import_sqlite:all

• yes, the whole parsing takes 30" on my ordinary MacBook Air machine :o)

• check the output in tmp/sbb-pois.db

The simplest way to visualize the data is to export the SQLite content in a GeoJSON file using rake export:geojson task which generates a GeoJSON file in map/stops.geojson and that can be visualized if you access the map/ in a browser.
