Mike,
Most of my experience is with software from ESRI. I have not used this specific
program from them, but I think it is probably a good fit based on what you've
described:
http://www.esri.com/software/busmap3/
I have not worked with this software in many years, but I think it's pretty
popular:

Both of these should export if not link directly to excel.
