Subway Buddies
(Published on 9. August 2024, 13:03 by Niverio)
Rules:
U-Bahn: Draw a totally connected loop network through the centers of some cells, which may branch or turn, but may not have any dead ends. A clue outside the grid indicates how many times the corresponding line shape (i.e. a cross, branch, straight line, or turn) appears in the corresponding row or column, irrespective of the line shape's rotation.
Buddies: Every single network cell (so ignoring empty cells) must have at least one orthogonally adjacent cell that has the same shape as itself. (turn, straight, branch or cross)
Links:
You can solve the puzzle in either Penpa+ or in the CTC Software.
Solution code: For each row except the last, the number of lines leading down from that row.

Very cleverly set and engaging puzzle till the very end!
The first two thirds were rather flowy for me, then this last one third was rather really tight and I had to spot a few key spots to finally break through x)
