Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
README is minimal, so the exact data format isn't fully documented.
This is a data collection project focused on Seoul's subway system. It stores basic factual information about the Seoul Metro, things like station names, line numbers, routes, and other fundamental details about how the system is organized. Think of it as a reference database that other projects can build on top of. The repository appears to be set up as a foundation for developers who want to build applications related to Seoul's public transit. Instead of each project having to independently research and compile subway information, they can reference this centralized source. This could be useful for building a transit app, a commute planner, a tourist guide, navigation software, or any tool that needs to know about Seoul Metro stations and connections. At its core, the project simply collects and organizes Seoul Metro data in a structured way, likely in files or a format that's easy for other software to read and use. Someone building a Seoul travel app, for example, wouldn't need to manually map out all the stations, they could pull that information from here instead. The README is quite minimal, so it's hard to say exactly what format the data is in or what specific details are included beyond the basics. But the intent is clear: make Seoul Metro information accessible and reusable for anyone building transit-related projects in the future.
A reference dataset of Seoul subway stations, lines, and routes meant to be reused by transit apps and travel tools.
