The text discusses how a graph database like Neo4j can be used to model and query the London Underground network, allowing for efficient pathfinding and journey planning. The author created a simple "Meta-Graph" representing stations as nodes connected by relationships labeled with line names, and then loaded data from an external source to populate the graph. They demonstrated how to find the shortest paths between two stations using geospatial queries and weighted shortest path algorithms. The author also touched on potential extensions to this system, such as incorporating bus and rail connections, limiting transfers, or returning cheapest journeys by zone. The text highlights the benefits of using a graph database for real-world network analysis and provides a glimpse into the complexity and scale of the London Underground network.
