# Transit Stop Positions (OSM) - 30,000-record Geospatial Sample

A free, ready-to-use sample of **30,000 geolocated public transport stop positions** (current openstreetmap snapshot), published by **[Outerview](https://www.outerview.ai)**.

Public-transport stop positions (where vehicles actually halt) mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors, with coordinates and the original OSM tags preserved.

> **This is a 30,000-record sample** of a much larger collection (about 1,549,000 source records). Need the full dataset, other places or years, or live search? See the [Outerview atlas](https://www.outerview.ai/atlas).

## At a glance

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Records | 30,000 |

## Quick start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("parquet", data_files="hf://datasets/Outerview/stop-position/data.parquet", split="train")
print(ds)
print(ds[0])
```

```python
import pandas as pd
import json

df = pd.read_parquet("hf://datasets/Outerview/stop-position/data.parquet")
df["properties"] = df["properties"].apply(json.loads)
df[["latitude", "longitude"]].describe()
```

## Search millions more geographic features

Outerview provides developers and AI systems access to **millions of geographic features and geolocated imagery** spanning infrastructure, places, roads, buildings, nature and community issues.

- Walkability and 15-minute-city studies
- Joining with schedules (GTFS) and demographics

## Schema

| Column | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Stable identifier for the record in the source table. |
| `sample` | boolean | Reserved flag for optional image samples; false for source-table exports. |
| `latitude` | float64 | Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). |
| `longitude` | float64 | Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). |
| `geometry_wkb` | binary | Record geometry encoded as Well-Known Binary for spatial workflows. |
| `media_url` | string | URL of associated imagery when available; usually empty for this dataset. |
| `attribution` | string | Attribution text for the contributing source. |
| `source` | string | Source or provider label. |
| `properties` | string | JSON-encoded object with the source-specific fields (see Properties). |

## Properties

The `properties` column is a JSON string holding the original source attributes. The most common keys in this sample:

| Key | Example value |
| --- | --- |
| `osm_id` | `215620219` |
| `tag_name` | `amenity` |
| `label_name` | `bank` |
| `public_transport` | `stop_position` |
| `name` | `Monticello Ave & Kidsburg Park` |
| `bus` | `yes` |
| `operator` | `Williamsburg Area Transit Authority` |
| `network` | `Sonoma County Transit` |
| `bicycle` | `yes` |
| `highway` | `bus_stop` |
| `wheelchair` | `yes` |
| `railway` | `tram_stop` |

Keys vary by record and source; not every field is populated for every row.

## Files

- [Parquet](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Outerview/stop-position/resolve/main/data.parquet)

- [CSV](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Outerview/stop-position/resolve/main/data.csv)
## Methodology

Records are exported directly from the Outerview geographic index, ordered by identifier and capped at 30,000 rows. Coordinates are WGS 84. Source fields are preserved in `properties` without reinterpretation. Inclusion means a record appeared in the contributing public dataset; it was not independently verified.
