A real tram network is more like a web of interconnecting lines. Although more lines mean more complexity, they allow Map::Tube to better reflect reality and thus be more useful and interesting.| P.T.C.
Mohammad Sajid Anwar’s post in last year’s Perl Advent Calendar about his Map::Tube module intrigued me. I decided I wanted to build such a map for the tram network in the city where I live: Hannover, Germany. Along the way, I thought it’d be nice to have a detailed HOWTO explaining the steps needed to create a Map::Tube map for one’s city of interest. Since I enjoy explaining things in detail, this got … long. So I broke it up into parts.| P.T.C.

One of those new ideas raised the question: “How do I get all tram lines and tram stops in Hannover, Germany from OpenStreetMap?”.
