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!
