With a big help from G. Dubois (again!), I added operating times on the Nantes (France) network, which is now almost complete.

Paris "Grande Nuit"

i-MetrO

While testing the "Google Maps" feature on i-Métro, E.P. Scott stumbled upon a major bug in the station name lookup handling and I found another one by myself. They are now fixed.

On his suggestion, I also added the ability to display a map on each intermediate stop instead of only on the start and end stops of a route. Look for the "map pin" icon!

Sacramento

E. P. Scott sent an update for Sacramento (USA), including more details for one bus route, one additional line and geographic coordinates for some stops.

With this latter addition, I "activated" the Google Maps feature on i-Metro.

Comments on the blog (cont'd)

Those f***g spammers (may they all go to hell) are using valid blogspot accounts... Therefore, I have re-enabled comments for everyone but I activated the "text validation" feature.

MetrO 5.3.7

The new release is ready, without much change on the programs (we have less and less time to develop) but still important updates on a number of city networks...

Visit the MetrO web site for details and downloads.

Fribourg

Keeping an eye on the changes in Fribourg (Switzerland), A. Cotting reported some changes on the bus system in that city.

Arnhem

K. de Bondt made me aware that one line (13) in Arnhem (Netherlands) is operating only in summer: I made a special group to take the fact into account. You may then deactivate this group during the rest of the year.

Additionally, I adjusted the trip times on this line.

Comments on the blog

Because of stupid spammers, I have restricted comments on this blog to registered users only. Sorry for the inconvenience...

Berlin

F. Busse suggested an improvement on the connections between 2 subway lines in Berlin (Germany).

He also provided a new bus line but since the program has limitations and would not be able to handle all the existing lines in the city, and not knowing which ones are really important to include, I prefer to delay this addition...

Roma

L. Freund provided some places of interest for the city of Roma (Italy), along with the tram network and a few bus lines (the most useful for tourists).

Madrid

A wrong connection has been spotted in the Madrid (Spain) database, between stations on the subway and rail networks sharing the same name but quite a distance away...
