TIL, thank you for the reference! I completely missed that while building out Tokyo Metro, I've never been to japan (though I want to) and as such, I'm not familiar with the vast systems. It took long enough to get data to build tokyo's metro, and I based that title off several articles I had read. When I have some time this week, I'll work to add the rest of the subway systems in region and update the title. ty!

theres a button in the top right to switch from miles to kilometers, that does it globally and handles the calculation gracefully!

Edit: I've had my coffee now, and see what you mean. the API exposes it at /api/systems/{system}/lines/{line}, as well as aggregate for the system at /api/systems/{system}, working on supplying distance unit in api response now.

Can you elaborate further on this so I might be able to fix it? As best I am able to discern, system track length for all current ones is accurate.

yep, its still and will always be WIP, every system exposes their data a bit differently, so it's not completely plug and play. you're welcome to contribute to the existing system data however! https://github.com/WaffleThief123/publictransit-systems/

tysm! Yeah I've got a bit of a backlog, as each set of data for each system needs a deep-dive on how the system exposes it programmatically, then need to do tests and some studying on each to build cars,timelines, etc. Toronto is on the list, if there's any in particular you want, file an issue on gh, and I'll do my best to get it added in a timely manner. https://github.com/wafflethief123/publictransit-systems/issu...

/shrug/ We have our infrastructure partially in OVH, I see it as a friendly jab at them and a way to get updates without having to navigate to twitter.

Hey Y'all, I made my first blog post today. I've been hunting recently for a good blogging platform without a bunch of fluff, and figured here would be a good place to start. Let me know what you think!
