MetrO "smart" download
On a suggestion by M. Mills, I have added the option to select all the cities in a country with a single click (on the checkbox attached to the country name): smart download page.
Paris (works)
There is quite a number of changes on the Paris subway network this week-end: Belleville is (supposedly) re-opened, the works on line 5 are suspended in August and line 14 will be partially closed next week (to prepare the future extension to Olympiades).
The next version is planned next week-end.
Download the new files:

New York (USA)
It appears some changes occured on the subway service in New York (USA) last May and I was not aware of them. Will reported a change on line N but there may be more...

Kazan
Another city will soon start operation on its firts subway line: Kazan (Russia). I even tried to build a version in russian ;-)
Nanjing
The new subway in Nanjing (China) will soon start regular operation on its first line: it is time to build a database for that city!
Luxembourg
G. Heinen sent an update for line 6 in Luxembourg, which is quite wrong in the current version.
Osaka
Following a mail from A. Groves, I have realized some connections were missing on the monorail line in Osaka (Japan). This was affecting both the Osaka file and the more complete Kyoto-Osaka database.

Kuala Lumpur
J. Mokhtar notified me of a change on the Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) network: a new stop has opened (one year ago...).
London (special)
As planned, the London tube service has changed this morning: download the update file here.
Updated at 10:40 (GMT), since the information on the TFL web site got less confusing.

MetrO 5.3.4 in progress
After a long period without any spare time, I took a few hours today for coding :-)
I have tried to improve the text - lists synchronization feature:
- The current text entry is highlighted in the POI list (as well as in the complete stop list and the contacts list).
- Instead of opening the complete stop list on the first character entered (when there is no list on screen), the contact list is displayed if the current entry starts with an '@'.
- And other minor enhancements.
I just need to check that those changes do not have a negative impact on performance...

Albenga & La Spezia
T. Caviglia provided the bus network for two small cities in Italy: Albenga & La Spezia. He also sent me one line for Ventimiglia, but I'm not sure a one line system is really useful...
San Jose
D. Rich sent an update for the San Jose (USA) VTA light rail, included in the San Francisco file.
London (special)
Another update for the special London file: the Northern line service is partially interrupted.

San Diego
E. P. Scott sent an update for the trolley lines in San Diego (USA), after the opening of a new line.

Madrid
I have just discovered that my source file for Madrid (Spain) was slightly corrupted. I don't think it has an impact on its content but you may observe a few weird things (like the name "Madr" instead of "Madrid") and I recommend you delete this file when you get the update next month.
Addition on 07/21: since it is possible that some problems arise with the file, you can now download the fixed Madrid database.

Bogota
R. Ramirez has provided another update for the Bogota (Colombia) file. There are a number of things I don't understand in the system itself but I hope we will be able to clear things up.

New York
M. Mazuryk sent the information for the LIRR system in New York (USA). Given its complexity, it may have some shortcomings (not to mention the possible errors we will try to spot before release) but I hope it will help New Yorkers anyway.
Philadelphia
On a suggestion by J. Tannenwald (following my post about merging the files for New York City and Philadelphia), I have added the NJT Northeast Corridor line in the Philadelphia (USA) file.
London - Special
After the attacks yesterday, the service in London (UK) transport system is disrupted and we are providing a special version of our database, according to the information we have at this time.
We sincerely hope it will help people in this difficult time. All our sympathy goes to the victims, their families and all the Londoners.
Download the file HERE. (please note that it is named "London Special" and it will not replace the regular version: remember to select it in the cities list).

Madrid
After yesterday's improvements, N. Knapp sent me the operating times for the subway and rail lines in Madrid (Spain). This allowed me to take into account the stops or sections that are closed part of the time.
Melbourne
D. Pickett reported a few typos in the Melbourne (Australia) database.
She is also planning to add the tram lines in the file and she welcomes any help (send me a mail if you are interested) ;-)

New York & Philadelphia
M. Mazuryk reported some inconsistencies on the NJT River Line in the New York & Philadelphia (USA) databases.
He also asked if it was possible to build one file for both cities (like we did for Washington & Baltimore): although I may try to, I'm afraid this would lead to a file too large for the program to handle.
The software has some limits in the number of "objects" (lines, stops, connections, ...) it can handle and even if we were to overcome these limitations, the calculations might take very long (several minutes) on occasions...

Mexico
From a mail by C. Castellanos, I added a new Metrobus line to the Mexico City (Mexico) database.
Once again, I received only a scan of the official leaflet: potential contributors should be aware that maintaining more than 300 city files is taking us an enormous amount of time and it is very important to prepare the data you want included in our files (see the "Contribution" section in the user guide)...
