📂 Dataset Contents

1. bengaluru_metro_stations.csv

Contains metadata for all metro stations.

Columns:

• station_name — Name of the metro station
• station_code — Unique short code for each station
• line — Metro line (Purple Line, Green Line, Yellow Line)

---

2. bengaluru_metro_network.csv

Represents the metro system as a graph structure with connectivity and geospatial data.

Columns:

• station_code — Unique station identifier
• station_name — Name of the station
• line — Metro line
• sequence — Order of station within the line
• is_interchange — Interchange flag (1 = Yes, 0 = No)
• next_station_code — Next station in route (NULL for terminal stations)
• latitude — Geographic latitude
• longitude — Geographic longitude
• distance_to_next_km — Distance to next station (in km)
• line_color — Hex color representing metro line

---

🌐 Key Features

• Complete graph-based metro network structure
• Accurate geospatial coordinates for mapping
• Distance between stations using Haversine formula
• Interchange station modeling
• Multi-line coverage (Purple, Green, Yellow)
• Ready for graph algorithms and routing systems

---

💡 Use Cases

This dataset can be used for:

• 🚇 Route optimization (Dijkstra / shortest path)
• 🗺 Metro network visualization (Leaflet, Mapbox, GIS)
• 📊 Transportation analytics & simulations
• 🧠 Smart city and urban mobility research
• 📈 Demand prediction (with external ridership data)
• 🎫 Building metro ticketing or navigation systems

---

🔗 Integration

This dataset can be combined with metro ridership datasets (available on Kaggle) for:

• Passenger demand prediction
• Peak hour analysis
• Congestion modeling

⚠️ Notes

• Terminal stations have next_station_code = NULL
• Distances are calculated between consecutive stations
• Coordinates are manually curated and verified for accuracy
• Dataset will be updated as new metro lines/stations are added
