Module talk:Adjacent stations/Exo

Proposal: Break into multiple sub-pages

There are a couple of challenges with the current setup of this Module:Adjacent stations/Exo sub-page:

It includes numerous entities that are not a part of Exo but rather sister transit organizations : Société de transport de Montréal, Réseau de transport de Longueuil, Société de transport de Laval, etc.
Currently the Exo commuter rail network icon is put as "system_icon" so that is shows correctly in places like the Adjacent stations section of the infobox (e.g. Mont-Saint-Hilaire station), but the icon is not representative of the Exo bus services network; let alone the other networks named above.

I'm looking at how other Module:Adjacent stations sub-pages are set up, and there are different ways, including:

Individual sub-pages for bus (e.g. Module:Adjacent stations/Bratislava buses) ... this isn't exactly like for like; in our case the items don't refer to individual lines but networks
An "Other" sub-page for non-rail icons (e.g. Module:Adjacent stations/Athens Other, Module:Adjacent stations/Paris Other)
Rail in one sub-page, and bus operations in another sub-page with the agency name (e.g. Module:Adjacent stations/Aargau S-Bahn vs Module:Adjacent stations/Aargau Verkehr)

I propose the following approaches but I'm open to other ideas:

Proposal 1: Break out Exo bus and train into:

Module:Adjacent stations/Exo bus services
Module:Adjacent stations/Exo commuter rail
Module:Adjacent stations/Société de transport de Montréal - just bus. We could also add other bus icons from {{rint|ca|montreal|bus|...}}.

Proposal 2a: move other agencies buses into...

Proposal 2b: move other agencies buses into...

Module:Adjacent stations/Canada transit

Proposal 3:

Leave Module:Adjacent stations/Exo as legacy until everything is transitioned out.

@Blaixx, @162 etc., @WOSlinker, @MSGJ: tagging you for your feedback on these proposals, having found your names in the talk pages to Adjacent stations and related Rail-interchange. All comments, amendments, contributions are welcome. One of Many Tims (talk) 00:54, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to think about this some more but at a minimum it makes sense to move STM, STL, and RTL into the "Canada transit" page. I agree that they don't fit into Exo (despite being under ARTM), and they are not complex enough to need their own pages. BLAIXX 01:17, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd set up Module:Adjacent stations/Canada transit to handle color rendering for services that would never have actual succession templates (effectively, rail or maybe bus rapid transit). Could be a good solution here; happy to help with whatever implementation is decided on. Mackensen (talk) 02:00, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
