The DSL that underlies Wikipedia’s nice transit diagrams is Quite A Thing. This diagram for San Francisco’s T Third Street line is generated by this code:

{{Routemap
|inline = <includeonly>1</includeonly>
|title = T Third Street
|title-bg = #{{rcr|MUNI|T}}
|navbar = T Third Street
|navbar pos = 2
|map =

}}

(There isn’t as much code here as you’d expect because everything below 4th and King is provided by the separate “4th & King–Arleta” template, presumably so that it can be reused in a different diagram.)
