This infobox is mainly for rail transit systems. For a specific service within a rail system, or for a rail system with only one route, {{Infobox rail service}} may be a better choice. For railway lines, please use {{Infobox rail line}} instead. For transit bus-only systems, consider using {{Infobox bus transit}}.

System map

An example from the Sochi Light Metro rapid transit system:

{{Infobox public transit
| name                 = Sochi Light Metro
| image                = Coat_of_Arms_of_Sochi_(Krasnodar_krai).png
| imagesize            = 150 px
| caption              = Bombardier Spacium train mockup
| owner                = City of Sochi
| locale               = [[Sochi]], [[Russia]]
| transit_type         = [[Medium capacity system|Light Metro]]
| lines                = 3
| stations             = 24
| operation_will_start = 2013
| system_length        = {{convert|86.4|km|mi|abbr=on}}
| track_gauge          = {{Track gauge|1520mm|allk=on}}
| map                  = {{Sochi Light Metro route diagram}}
| map_state            = collapsed
}}

If some of the row of route map made with WP:ROUTE set (not entirely) breaks apart, possibly the infobox width is too short and forcing some of the text description within the route diagram template to return. Increase the box_width parameter, or putting auto will solve this problem.
