For a key to symbols see {{bus route legend}}.
For information on using this template, refer to Wikipedia:Route diagram template.

It will also place the template in Category:Bus routemap templates or the appropriate country-based subcategory.

Usage edit

Country is specified by any valid ISO 3166-1 code.

Additional codes edit

The template also recognizes these unofficial codes:

Code	Location
AFR	Africa
AA or ASA	Asia
CT or CAT	Catalonia
EU or EUR	Europe
NIL	Northern Ireland‎
UK	United Kingdom‎

Optional parameters edit

When included, the second (optional) parameter should be the parent article of the diagram.

{{Bus-routemap|UK|Cambridgeshire Guided Busway}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, a bus route in the United Kingdom.

Including the optional named parameter |type= will change “a bus route in Country” to “a alternate text in Country”. For example,

{{Bus-routemap|UK|type=[[guided bus]] system}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for a guided bus system in the United Kingdom.

and,

{{Bus-routemap|UK|Cambridgeshire Guided Busway|type=[[guided bus]] system}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, a guided bus system in the United Kingdom.

The optional named parameter |the=anything will omit the word “the” before the linked page. For example,

{{Bus-routemap|US|the=x|CMAX|type=[[bus rapid transit]] line}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for CMAX, a bus rapid transit line in the United States.

The optional named parameter |display= will replace the text of the article link. If display is set to either I or i the article link will automatically be italicized.

The optional named parameter |place= will change “a bus route in Country” to “a bus route in place, Country”. For example,

{{Bus-routemap|US|J Line (Los Angeles Metro)|display=J Line |place=[[Los Angeles]]}}

will change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for the J Line, a bus route in Los Angeles, the United States.

Categories edit

By default the template will be included in the appropriate category for that country. However, adding the parameter |cat=no will exclude the template from all categories. Note that this parameter is not case sensitive: i.e. |cat=NO produces the same result as |cat=no.

Setting |cat=brt will include the template in Category:Bus rapid transit routemap templates and change the first line of the template to:

This is a route-map template for a bus rapid transit route in country.

The optional named parameter |catidx= will add a sort key to the category.
