Using templates
To simplify editing of contents, templates are used to display preformatted information common throughout the sites:
- BARTlines - Shows line color and name of BART
- Bus - Shows bus route number and destination
- MMLNS - Shows line color and name of Muni Metro
- Nextmuni - Shows link for live bus prediction on Next Muni's web site
- VTALRlines - Shows line color and name of VTA Light Rail
To use a template, use {{template}}. Templates have different variables are are separated by | (e.g. {{BARTlines|green}}, {{MMLNS|T}})
