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 think I had used fluxbox once. I see that it was a fork of Blackbox originally. Is fluxbox more feature rich now than Blackbox? (I am assuming former would be more popular than it’s original fork now ).
