geopandas to_crs() return ProjError: x, y, z, and time must be same size

Question

How can I convert this geodataframe with polygons in it from epsg:32748 to epsg:4326?

I have a geodataframe called poi_shp_utm_buffered which looks like this

|   |                                   PlaceID | Official_N | Primary__1 | Full_Stree | Overall_Sc |             X |            Y |                                          geometry |

When I extract the crs, it gives me

This is my geopandas version

Ps. if I check using conda list on my environment, I actually have fiona installed, but somehow the gpd.show_version can detect it.

Answer 1

updating proj and pyproj to latest as suggest in the github error report fixed this issue.

Answer 2

updating pyproj led to other errors for me (specifically this one: ImportError: the 'read_file' function requires the 'fiona' package, but it is not installed or does not import correctly. Importing fiona resulted in:)

I got it to work by downgrading shapely to version 1.8.4 as suggested here: https://cleanenergyfutures.insightworks.com/pages/9119.html
