The problem is that not all of the lines on OpenRailwayMap are currently having passenger traffic. Perfect example of that is Albania, where they had railways during communism, but it is discontinued at the moment and will be for many years.

This project tries something else. To be factual and easy to use for the average user at the same time. The information displayed on Railrouter is a bit different, because the average user want to see different type of information.

I understand that curated data is not optimal, but I do not have a community behind me and I do not expect it either. Therefore, it will be a long time before it will be up to a similar standard to OpenRailwayMap. For someone like me, I will rather use Railrouter because it is just simpler and not to technical. I am not trying to compete against OpenRailwayMap.

Instead whenever someone is critical on forums or in the internet general, I will verify the feedback and then implement it where the user will be cited as well. Corrections log: https://trainrouter.com/corrections/

And here is me thinking I (being a railway enthusiast and an OSM contributor) would have already known this existed. :D Thanks for the link, I was previously only aware of the raster version.

BTW thanks for the link for OpenRailwayMap! I have not seen this version before right now:)

There should be a heat map to show how late trains are in the routes. Canada would just be red 🤣

Omg it is too tight!

How did you decide which ones were notable?:

• Whichever one is easy to get on the map, more will come afterwards:)

Why didn’t you include these two insignificant villages near where I live that nobody else has heard of:

• Have not added all yet but hopefully soon. I am working on to have branch lines as well since I want to have all, all, all, all passenger lines which is running at the moment.

The OP made a rather strict selection of railways he found to be "notable" so I wouldn't take this map to represent density by any means.

They might have more rail routes than shown on the map. Starting with the easier routes, then harder and harder and harder:)

There are so many lines I want to try around the world! Especially China because of their crazy high speed network...

Don't take this map as representative, especially India and a lot of Asia have WAY more passenger lines than this.

The only places i'd confidently say are actually representative of a miserably small network of passenger lines are North America and Australia.
In fact i'd say Australia is a bit optimistic since even just the route between Melbourne and Adelaide runs a couple times per week and is pretty terrible for commuting.

brazil number one in underdeveloped railway infrastructure

Australia that one from the south to the top and the one from the west to the east are basically tourist trains thousands of dollars for tickets.

How much is an airline ticket? I've heard of them being as cheap as 40€ but I've never seen a train ticket cost over 140€ for a one day trip and that is if you don't book in advance.

Sadly it is also a problem in Norway as well (Where I am from). Sometimes they even have bus for train within very short notice which is sad.

The germans, but slavery was legal until 1945 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Building_of_the_Trans-Saharan_Railway_in_North_Africa_by_slave_labour_in_WWII_1941-1942_(11).jpg

Hopefully it is already added before you manage to come home;)

Cannot promise anything though..

Will see to it:)

Will see to them later:)

Wait why?

I have never been to South Korea, but I really like South Koreans! I have to go there soon:)

I remember being in a cafe in Paris ran by South Koreans and it was one of the best cafes I have ever been to. They have so great style in fashion, design and music.
