CP Logo

The Multimark has not been actively used by CP in decades, shouldn't the icon use this logo? 162.208.168.92 (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I support this. There are probably a few pedants out there who don't want to see the new logo on articles associated with heritage lines or stuff like that, but I think the currently used one should be the default way the company is represented. The Multimark could be kept in the template as an alternate for special purposes. Julius177 (talk) 06:07, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since the merger with CP and KCS the icon should now use this logo? Dead Malls‬ (talk) 14:10, 9 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dead Malls (talk • contribs) [reply]

Support this idea, I've added it to Template talk:Rail-interchange. 162 etc. (talk) 22:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ontario Northland

Resolved

Seeing that there are interchange marks for a number of regional transit companies including GO Transit , are there any plans in the works for a rail-interchange mark for Ontario Northland buses? Seeing as the Northlander is still in limbo and the only passenger train in service at the moment is the Polar Bear Express, a bus icon for Ontario Northland would probably be the most useful. Ottawajin (talk) 05:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be in favour of this, other major intercity bus operators could have icons as well. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would be for this as well. I have uploaded an image that can be used for it and I will put in a request. Millsy0303 (talk) 02:43, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support this as I feel like Ontario Northland motor coach coverage is very poor right now, and realistically the majority of it will be on other pages, where an icon would stand out and be useful as a visual marker. Julius177 (talk) 23:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Montreal standardized signage

The ARTM has been rolling out a standardized signage for Montreal transit services.

I'd propose updating {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|rail}} to image (as exo is an operator of both exburban rail and busses).

I'd also like to update {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|metro}} or {{…|ca|1}}, {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|metro}} or {{…|ca|2}}, {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|metro}} or {{…|ca|4}} and {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|metro}} or {{…|ca|5}} to point to SVG versions , , and .

Lastly, under {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|rem}}, I'd like to include icons for line and its branches , , , and . One of Many Tims (talk) 04:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaixx: This all seems to match up with the newest map[1], can you help with implementing? I'll add that we should probably keep the "exo" text logo under a new entry, maybe {{rint|montreal|exobus}}, with a link to Exo bus services. 162 etc. (talk) 17:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to help! I just swapped in the vector versions for

thru

. The others are a bit trickier but I'll get to them. BLAIXX 19:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In an effort to preserve backwards compatibility, here's what I'm doing:

{{rint|montreal|rail}} and {{rint|montreal|exo}} will display as and link to Exo (public transit)
{{rint|montreal|exo|train}} and {{rint|montreal|exo|rail}} will display as and link to Exo (public transit)
{{rint|montreal|exo|bus}} will display as and link to Exo bus services. BLAIXX 02:41, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaixx Thanks for your help.

Any way we can get

to point to

? It resembles the bus icon used for the STM but with a black background.

The two other bus services have similar treatments: RTL in Burgundy

and STL in Dark blue

I've made an edit request to get these into rint. If you want to use them now, you can use Template:Rail icon instead of Template:rint.

{{ric|REM}} {{ric|REM|A}} {{ric|REM|A2}} {{ric|Exo}} {{ric|Exo|bus}} {{ric|Exo|train}} {{ric|Exo|12}} produces:

Can we standardize the {{ric|montreal|bus|...}} to 16px like the other Montreal icons? It seems to be the standard width looking at other icons in Canada and elsewhere, and it would make presentation of Montreal services look less janky.

I'd also add {{ric|montreal|bus|terminus}} rendering as and {{ric|montreal|bus|srb}} rendering as

{{ric|montreal|bus|express}} seems deprecated in the design language. Should I note it as such in the /doc page? One of Many Tims (talk) 19:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaixx: It seems someone has changed the {{rint|montreal|exo}} image - per the above discussion, it should be this, but it is currently displaying this. Thanks! 162 etc. (talk) 23:41, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was One of Many Tims who made the change. Perhaps they can comment. BLAIXX 03:27, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@One of Many Tims: 162 etc. (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made this change in Module:Adjacent stations/Exo to have the train network icon appear in infoboxes.

I used Special:Search to make sure none of the articles using related templates would show the train icon in the wrong case, and it didn't seem to be the case:

I didn't understand that this would have an impact on {{rint|ca|montreal}} or {{…|ca|exo}} or else I would have reached out here first. However, doing a similar for instances of {{rint montreal|exo}} doesn't seem to cause any icons to show the rail icon incorrectly. So it seems like backwards compatibility hasn't been a large concern.

Let me know how we should proceed from here. We could roll back the change. Alternatively, I can edit the pages that employ {{rint montreal|exo}} and switch to more explicit {{rint montreal|rail}}. One of Many Tims (talk) 19:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaixx, @162 etc.: One of Many Tims (talk) 01:41, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

{{rint}} is used for both bus and rail icons. Exo has both bus and rail services. It would seem logical to have the nonspecific {{rint|montreal|exo}} use the "exo" text logo and link to Exo (public transit), not Exo commuter rail. Then we have the more specific {{rint|montreal|exo|train}} and {{rint|montreal|exo|bus}} which already use the correct icons and wikilinks (like this

and this

.)

That being said, I have no idea how much work this puts on your plate or how many articles this affects. 162 etc. (talk) 20:54, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regional busses using Montreal metropolitan standardized signage

Can we add the following items?

{{ric|montreal|bus|terminus}} rendering as for metropolitan bus terminals
{{ric|montreal|bus|srb}} rendering as for metropolitan BRT
{{ric|longueuil|bus}} rendering as for Réseau de transport de Longueuil busses
{{ric|laval|bus}} rendering as for Société de tranport de Laval busses

Rocky Mountaineer

I was thinking that we could add a template rail interchange for the Rocky Mountaineer. Endrias Kassa (talk) 23:28, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
