NAME Map::Metro - Public transport graphing SYNOPSIS # Install a map $ cpanm Map::Metro::Plugin::Map::Stockholm # And then my $graph = Map::Metro->new('Stockholm')->parse; my $routing = $graph->routes_for('Universitetet', 'Kista'); print $routing->to_text; prints From Universitetet to Kista ========================= -- Route 1 (cost 15) ---------- [ T14 ] Universitetet [ T14 ] Tekniska högskolan [ T14 ] Stadion [ T14 ] Östermalmstorg [ T14 ] T-Centralen [ * T11 ] T-Centralen [ T11 ] Rådhuset [ T11 ] Fridhemsplan [ T11 ] Stadshagen [ T11 ] Västra skogen [ T11 ] Solna centrum [ T11 ] Näckrosen [ T11 ] Hallonbergen [ T11 ] Kista T11 Blue line T14 Red line *: Transfer to other line +: Transfer to other station DESCRIPTION The purpose of this distribution is to find the shortest unique route/routes between two stations in a transport network. Methods new($city) $city The name of the city you want to search connections in. Mandatory, unless you are only going to call "available_maps". parse() Returns a Map::Metro::Graph object containing the entire graph. available_maps() Returns an array reference containing the names of all Map::Metro maps installed on the system. What is a unique path? The following rules is a guideline: If the starting station and finishing station... ...is on the same line there will be no transfers to other lines. ...shares multiple lines (e.g., both stations are on both line 2 and 4), each line constitutes a route. ...are on different lines a transfer will take place at a shared station. No matter how many shared stations there are, there will only be one route returned (but which transfer station is used can differ between queries). ...has no shared stations, the shortest route/routes will be returned.

Map::Metro::Graph::Transfer - Defines a MMG::Transfer. Status This is somewhat experimental. I don't expect that the map file format will *break*, but it might be extended. Only the documented api should be relied on, though breaking changes might occur. For all maps in the Map::Metro::Plugin::Map namespace (unless noted): These maps are not an official source. Use accordingly. Each map should state its own specific status with regards to coverage of the transport network. COMPATIBILITY Currently only Perl 5.20+ is supported. Map::Tube works with Perl 5.6. Included in this distribution is a script to convert "Map::Metro" maps into "Map::Tube" maps, if Map::Tube misses one you need.
