Hungarian Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports contain railway lines and stations for Hungary, tagged with the `railway` key. The data includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, sourced from a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Create thematic basemaps for regional planning using geospatial railway infrastructure.
• Study urban transit coverage by integrating tram track data with other transport layers.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project with global coverage.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
