milleleaf/hk-transit

Hong Kong bus, minibus and MTR routes and stops

Every franchised bus (KMB/LWB, Citybus), green minibus and MTR Bus stop, MTR station and Light Rail stop in Hong Kong with the routes or lines serving it, and every route direction and MTR line, rebuilt daily by milleleaf/hk-transit.

• search/stops.parquet: id, name_en, name_tc, co, lon, lat, routes (one row per stop)
• search/routes.parquet: key, co, route, bound, dest, stops, line, lon, lat (one row per route direction; lon/lat = middle of its stops; line false = stops only: TD draws no line for it, or its stops do not fit TD's line; each is listed with the reason and its stops in order in the bucket's bus/skipped.json)
• search/search.duckdb: a view-only DuckDB file whose views read the two Parquet files over hf://datasets/milleleaf/hk-transit/search/ (works from any folder: ATTACH 'hf://datasets/milleleaf/hk-transit/search/search.duckdb' AS s (READ_ONLY) or a downloaded copy)

A copy is mirrored to Kaggle after every bake; Kaggle stores the gzipped bus/ tiles decompressed (.json), so their names and sha256 differ from manifest.json.

The geometry itself is in the bucket milleleaf/hk-transit: bus and minibus routes sampled every 20 m with road level and height in 2 km gzipped JSON tiles (bus/), and every MTR line with its stations, track and over/underground levels (mtr.json, Light Rail included). MTR Bus lines are our own routing along TD's road network through each route's stops (no route line is published for them): an estimate, not MTR's route geometry.
