Usage[change source]

This template formats the services that operate on a New York City Subway line. It calls one of service templates and adds the word train or trains after it, according to the number of services that the called template returns. For example:

direct calls to service templates:

{{NYCS Sixth}} gives B, D, F, <F>, and M

{{NYCS Crosstown}} gives G

{{NYCS none}} gives no regular service

calls to {{NYCS trains}}:

{{NYCS trains|Sixth}} gives B, D, F, <F>, and M trains

{{NYCS trains|Crosstown}} gives G train

{{NYCS trains|none}} gives no regular service

calls to {{NYCS trains}} with bold parameter:

{{NYCS trains|Sixth|bold}} gives B, D, F, <F>, and M trains

{{NYCS trains|Crosstown|bold}} gives G train

{{NYCS trains|none|bold}} gives no regular service

calls to {{NYCS trains}} with type parameter:

{{NYCS trains|Sixth|type=route}} gives B, D, F, <F>, and M routes

{{NYCS trains|Crosstown|type=route}} gives G route

{{NYCS trains|none|type=route}} gives no regular service
