New Year's Eve in Brussels

We are pleased to anounce the release of a MetrO database for the special New Year's Eve service in Brussels (Belgium): the subway will run until 6 AM, a few trams until 1:30 AM (1:40 AM for the 4 & 33 shuttles) and the "Noctis" night buses until 5 AM (but they will not go to the city centre before 1:40 AM). Transportation will be free during this time.

Paris (night bus)

While preparing a database for the New Year's eve service, I have discovered a few minor bugs and changes on the "Noctilien" (night bus) service in Paris (France).

New York

I. Salom complained - with reason - about inconsistencies in the naming of some stations in our database for New York (USA), with, for example, "14 St" on the subway and "14th Street" on the PATH.

Therefore, I have streamlined most of the names, removing the ordinal symbols and generalizing the "St" symbol (without a '.') for "Street".

If you have entered some of those stations in your address book, remember you will have to change them (and I apologize for the inconvenience).

I take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas!
