Paris (works)

The disruptions on the RER C line in Paris (France) are finished and station Montgallet is closing today for renovation works. Download the updated "temporary" files:

• Paris-travaux (complete rail network)
  
• Paris-full-travaux (inner city subway, bus and RER networks). To use this one on a Palm device, you must get the new beta version of the program and install the file on a memory card.
  

Next update planned on (or around) September 14.

Toulouse & the Rugby World Cup

On an idea (and data) from M.D., we have built a special database for Toulouse (France), which will host 4 matches of the Rugby World Cup and will set up a special shuttle service for the occasion. The database also contains a few explanations and a dedicated POI ("Rugby World Cup Stadium").

Download the special file here.

New York (works)

After the latest evolution on the program for PalmOS, I am trying to resume the delivery of our special "works" database for New York (USA).

Download the new database here or with our online update services.

Attention Palm users: as I explained before, this database can not be installed in main memory on Palm devices, it must be installed on a memory card. Additionally, you will need the new version of the program (in english only and still in beta status).

Next update planned on or around Friday, September 14.

Brest

M. Pouliquen reports some changes on the bus network in Brest (France).

Halberstadt

L. Freund has found a small tram network in Halberstadt (Germany) and we have built its database.

MetrO for PalmOS

I am currently experimenting with a version of MetrO for PalmOS that would allow to use "large" databases such as the one for Paris Métro + Bus (or its "works" counterpart), which, until now, can be used only on Windows Mobile or Symbian devices.

There is a catch, though: the databases will only install on a memory card - the OS will never accept these "invalid" files in main memory.

As a bonus, this enhancement might allow me to resume the delivery of the New York "works" database, which I recently stopped providing because of how complex it had become to handle. We'll see about that with the next bunch of MTA service advisories on Friday.

For those who can't wait and want to try the Paris databases, a beta version is available on PalmAttitude forums (sorry, that's in french only).

Paris (works)

The special "works" version of our Paris (France) database has been updated with several disruptions for repair or renovation works:

• The RER C service between Bd Victor and Versailles/St Quentin en Yvelines will be suspended next week-end.
  
• Station Richard Lenoir is closed until Nov. 13.
  
• Station Opéra is closed on line 3 (service on lines 7 & 8 is not affected) until Nov. 21.
  
• The renovation works planning has been updated for the coming weeks.

Download the updated "temporary" files:

Next update planned on September 10.

Moscow

Subway line 10 in Moscow (Russia) has been extended and now connects to line 9.

Brest

The last service of the "Bus des Plages" ("beaches bus") in Brest (France) will run today and the line will be deactivated in our database until next summer.

Prague

I have received an almost anonymous mail with new data for the Prague (Czech Republic) network. It appears there is an important update in the tram services.

Nürnberg

L. Freund has added the R-Bahn (Reginal Railway) lines to our database for Nürenberg / Nuremberg (Germany).

Torino

After his first trial, G. Tomatis has assembled the data for most bus lines in Torino (Italy).

Dublin

G. Santhosh provided information for a few bus lines to add to our database for Dublin (Ireland).

Lyon

After a quiet month of August, it becomes obvious that the holidays have ended... We start with some service updates on the Lyon (France) bus network. The information was provided by L. Freund.

New York

After Will reported an issue with our New York (USA) database - the LIRR Port Washington line was wrongly preferred over the subway - I checked and adjusted the services frequency on all the railway lines.
