Template:Infobox public transit/doc

This infobox is mainly for rail transit systems. For a specific line within a rail system, or for a rail system with only one line, please use {{Infobox rail line}}. For transit bus-only systems, please use {{Infobox bus transit}}.

Parameters

Name Parameter Required Definition
Infobox width box_width No Width of infobox, default:22em; Note: use auto for automatic width
Name name No Name of transit system; default:PAGENAME
Image image No Filename of image for the header (typically a logo, but photo can be used if no logo is available)
Image alt text alt No Description of image for those who cannot see it (see alt text).
Image size imagesize No Size of image defined above; default:200px
2nd Image image2 No Filename of second image for the header (allows for use of a picture if the logo was used for the first image parameter)
2nd Image alt text alt2 No Description of image for those who cannot see it.

3rd Image alt text alt2 No Description of third for those who cannot see it.
3rd Image size imagesize2 No Size of third image defined above; default:200px
Caption caption No Caption of the image (especially if an image was used for the second image where a logo and image are used). Text appears under images.
Owner owner No Owner of transit system (if different than operator; if publicly owned, list that and its stock ticker)
Locale locale Yes City or region transit system is located
Transit type transit_type Yes Type of transit system. Types may include (one or more):

  • Light rail
  • Tram – use in lieu of "Trolley" or "Streetcar"
  • Bus
  • Bus rapid transit
  • Monorail
  • People mover
  • Interurban

or other types of transit. (This also include Bicycle sharing systems which also use this template)

Number of lines lines No Number of lines/routes
Number of stations stations No Number of stations/stops

For bicycle share system: This is the number of stations, not the number of bicycle docks.

Operator(s) operator(s) No Operator of transit system (typically a subsidiary of the system's owner)
Reporting marks marks No Reporting marks of transit operator
Host Railroads host No Reporting marks or names of railroad companies that own trackage that the transit system uses. Leave blank if system owns all right-of-ways, but add system's own mark if it is mixed between owned by system and trackage rights assigned to system.
Number of vehicles vehicles No Number of transit vehicles (or bicycles for bicycle share)
Train length train_length No Train length
Headway headway No Time between trains on the same track
System length system_length No System length (use {{convert|5|mi|km}} or {{convert|5|km|mi}} to display both U.S. and metric units)
No. of tracks notrack No Number of tracks on the lines the system uses
Track gauge track_gauge No Track gauge (use template – see Category:Rail transport gauge templates)
Old gauge ogauge No Track gauge (use template – see Category:Rail transport gauge templates)
Minimum radius of curvature minimum_radius_of_curvature No (use template convert )
Electrification el No Overhead lines or Third rail, Voltage, AC or DC, etc.
Average speed average_speed No Average speed (if known; use {{convert|0|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} or {{convert|0|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} to display both U.S. and metric units))
Top speed top_speed No Top speed (if known; use {{convert}} as used with average speed)
osm_id osm_id No OpenStreet Map id. Enter the "way" id from OpenStreetMap
Map <code>map No Map of line
Map title map_name No Title of map; default: System map

Example

Sochi Light Metro
150 px
Bombardier Spacium train mockup
Background
Owner City of Sochi
Locale Sochi, Russia
Transit type Light Metro
Number of lines 3
Number of stations 24
Operation
Operation will start 2013
Technical
System length 86.4 km (53.7 mi)
Track gauge 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) (Russian gauge)

An example from the Sochi Light Metro rapid transit system: <pre.raw style="border:0px;overflow:auto;"> {{Infobox public transit | name = Sochi Light Metro | image = Coat_of_Arms_of_Sochi_(Krasnodar_krai).png | imagesize = 150 px | caption = Bombardier Spacium train mockup | owner = City of Sochi | locale = [[Sochi]], [[Russia]] | transit_type = [[Medium capacity system|Light Metro]] | lines = 3 | stations = 24 | operation_will_start = 2013 | system_length = {{convert|86.4|km|mi|abbr=on}} | track_gauge = {{RailGauge|1520}} ([[Russian gauge]]) | map = {{Sochi Light Metro route diagram}} | map_state = collapsed }}</pre>

If some of the row of route map made with WP:ROUTE set (not entirely) breaks apart, possibly the infobox width is too short and forcing some of the text description within the route diagram template to return. Increase the box_width parameter, or putting auto will solve this problem.
