A version of nyc_subway_routes_sf in which each route has been shifted horizontally by a small amount (in feet, CRS EPSG:2263) so that co-running services can be drawn as parallel lines in schematic maps instead of stacking on top of each other. EPSG:2263, NAD83 / New York Long Island (ftUS).

Usage

nyc_subway_routes_offset_sf

Format

nyc_subway_routes_offset_sf

A simple feature collection with 311 rows and 7 columns:

shape_id

GTFS shape identifier.

route_id

GTFS route identifier.

route_group

Route group identifier (e.g., "ACE", "123").

route_short_name

Short service name (bullet letter/number).

route_long_name

Descriptive long name.

route_color

Brand color as a hex string prefixed with #.

x_offset

Horizontal offset in feet applied to the geometry.

geometry

Offset linestring geometry in EPSG:2263.

Details

Offsets are computed as (group_id - n_routes / 2) * 50, so each route is shifted by a multiple of 50 feet relative to the middle route. This is a cosmetic transformation intended only for schematic visualization; for any spatial analysis use nyc_subway_routes_sf instead.
