I would like to show the subway in Hannover as known in the German subway OSM data on a map using the great OSMNX module. But unlike the New York example no results are returned for:
G = ox.graph_from_place('Hannover, Germany',
retain_all=False, truncate_by_edge=True, simplify=True,
network_type='none', custom_filter='["railway"~"subway"]')
# EmptyOverpassResponse: There are no data elements in the response JSON
I do get results for other similar queries using 'Hannover, Germany' as region. I also do not get subway results for Paris or London. And I do not get results for similar queries like custom_filter='["railway"~"tram"]' or '["railway"~"s-bahn"]' or '["network"~"metro"]'.
Also, if I use the infrastructure keyword argument to select "railway", an extensive gdf is returned:
G = ox.graph_from_place('Hannover, Germany', retain_all=False, truncate_by_edge=True, simplify=True,
network_type='none', infrastructure='way["railway"]')
gdfox = ox.graph_to_gdfs(G, nodes=False, edges=True, node_geometry=True, fill_edge_geometry=True)
gdfox.shape # (4422, 14)
But I cannot identify the subway using the columns returned?:
['u', 'v', 'key', 'osmid', 'service', 'oneway', 'length',
'geometry', 'name', 'maxspeed', 'ref', 'bridge', 'tunnel',
'access']
What I also find strange is that there are only 2 LINESTRINGS returned if I (try to) retrieve all railways using the custom_filter:
G = ox.graph_from_place('Hannover, Germany', retain_all=False, truncate_by_edge=True,
simplify=True, network_type=None, custom_filter='["railway"~""]')
gdfox = ox.graph_to_gdfs(G, nodes=False, edges=True, node_geometry=True, fill_edge_geometry=True)
gdfox.shape # (2, 10) # returns only 2 LINESTRINGS: Altenbekener Damm
