The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated in May 2026. Completeness of the map data varies by region, with urban areas typically being more detailed than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for regional planning using railway and station features.
• Mapping multi-modal transport corridors based on the inclusion of both rail lines and tram tracks.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column definitions are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
