Patna Metro Route Distance

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. Where does the live station data come from?

We query OpenStreetMap (Overpass API) for nearby public_transport and railway nodes/ways — it’s community-maintained and freely available.

2. Is Patna Metro operational / are these official station names?

Some corridors were under construction and partial openings were reported for priority stretches (check official PMRCL announcements). This tool shows OSM-mapped stops and municipal reporting. Always check PMRCL for official changes. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

3. Which API keys do I need?

None required for the provided Nominatim & Overpass calls (they are public); note Nominatim has usage policy limits — consider hosting your own instance or using a geocoding service for heavy traffic. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

4. How are fares calculated?

Fares are estimated via a simple distance-based formula (base fare + per-km rate). Replace with official fare slabs once you have PMRCL tariffs.

5. Can I embed this map on other pages?

Yes — the page uses Leaflet which is embeddable. Ensure you respect OSM & Nominatim usage policies for server requests. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
