Metrolist will have one limitation. I don't think Google allows for High quality music streaming (which I think is 256 kbps on their part) on free accounts, so it would be impossible for the app to bypass that.

Though if someone has YouTube Premium, one can as of now, use yt-dlp to download songs from YT Music in High Quality via --export-cookies flag.

    There were originally five of these built in different cities colloquially called Jantar Mantar [four survive to this day]. The most famous of them arguably lies in the western city of Jaipur, India attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. This one is a small location lying sandwiched across 'ghats' along the riverside.

    With the exception of Delhi (which has ~400 km of route length), many cities have perilously low route network (as low as single digit in many cases). This leads to under usage in many cases.

    Of course, not all is woe. I have personal experience with two metro systems listed in the article. Kanpur has increased substantially from the paltry 3% occupancy article lists after route length increased and main railway station was connected. Yes, it is still far below saturation but better than nothing.

    As for Pune, I am wondering if they took non peak time data(or old data) for reference. Because I traveled there last year and at evening, it was exceptionally dense crowd (like barely could get place to stand).

    I also am on Void since past couple of years. Paired it with LxQt DE for sometime. I didn't have much opinion (or even cared) about systemd (which Void eschews in favor of runit) when I chose it in my distro hopping days. It's lean and clean though package repos slightly smaller than competing ones.

    I started with Ubuntu (when it was left, right and center in my country) but soon gravitated towards Debian. The old packages can be a pain sometimes ( I even tried running Debian Unstable for sometime and ironically that is quite Stable as well) but other things are quite sane.

    The distro isn't hard to use (though it does not hand hold like Zorin OS, say) compared to likes of Gentoo or Arch and deb packages are quite common (for third party software).

    I ultimately(distro hopped a lot) settled on Void Linux but Debian, IMO, is still slightly easier. The only Achilles' Heel is the woefully sore update cycle since the focus is on stability.

    Sony also has the headphone jack I think. But Sony's phone releases have gotten ahem much less frequent. I don't think even the company is treating it with much foresight (I forget the last time I saw a Sony phone in somebody 's hands).
