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]

There seems to be at least enough consensus to move RTL and STL to "Canada transit". So I've begun with those two items (Proposal 2b). One of Many Tims (talk) 23:29, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
