New York

Given that the vast majority of MTA riders in New York (USA) supposedly use MetroCards, J. Pazmino suggested the addition of extra connections - at "45 Rd-Court Square" (between lines 7 & G) and at "Lexington Av, 63 St" (between lines F and N, R, W) - reserved to MetroCard holders.

He also mentioned that it is impracticable to change direction at "86 St, Lexington Av" (lines 4, 5 & 6) which affects our "works" version of the database, which will take this feature into account for our next release.
