Template:Cite NYC bus map/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template produces citations for the maps of NYC borough bus routes. The parameters are the one- or two-letter bus prefixes for each borough, or the borough name itself:

  • B (Brooklyn)
  • Bx (The Bronx)
  • M (Manhattan)
  • Q (Queens)
  • S (Staten Island)
  • Sx (Staten Island Express Bus)

There are also options for the following regional bus systems:

  • N (NICE Bus, Nassau County)
  • W (Bee-Line Bus, Westchester County)

To create a citation for the service guides instead, add the number "2" to the parameter entries listed above, or add a space then the word "Notes" after the borough name.

  • B2 or Brooklyn Notes (Brooklyn)
  • Bx2 or Bronx Notes (The Bronx)
  • M2 or Manhattan Notes (Manhattan)
  • Q2 or Queens Notes (Queens)
  • S2 or Staten Island Notes (Staten Island)
  • Sx2 or Staten Island Express Bus Notes (Staten Island)

To create a citation for the night services instead, add the number "3" to the parameter entries listed above, or add a space then the word "Night" after the borough name. This does not work for Staten Island routes.

  • B3 or Brooklyn Night (Brooklyn)
  • Bx3 or Bronx Night (The Bronx)
  • M3 or Manhattan Night (Manhattan)
  • Q3 or Queens Night (Queens)
