  • Usually, for political purposes the first phase of a metro is hastily inaugurated whilst subsequent phases often linger long. Agra does have a road map for longer metro lines. How long, it will take, especially with changing state and central governments is anybody’s guess. Unlike China, things are slower in India both for political and logistical reasons(like land acquisition sometimes becomes a stumbling factor in associated railway projects).


  • The thing about Indian metros is that nearly half of them are built on very low distances. For example, the Agra Metro(home to the Taj Mahal) currently has a operational distance of 6 km only. Jaipur, another tourist site has ~12 km only.

    Cities like Bombay/Mumbai are developing it as an alternative (and much needed there because the suburban trains are creaking there and they are dangerous) but they are yet to reach a sustainable limit. I think Delhi has sorted it. They have covered the whole length and breadth of the city and have nearly 400 km of network length. The ridership numbers are decent there too.


















  • I could be wrong, but didn’t previous generation of Samsung A series phones come with eMMC storage. I think this has UFS 2.2, so slight increase there as well.

    But I agree that overall it’s an incremental upgrade only. And base model of 4GB RAM might not hold in the long term. I had/have an entry level Samsung phone(A05 I guess), but that stutters much
