This puzzle was created by Jakhob and wooferzfg, and it is a variant of U-Bahn with stations. The rules originate from a series by tuace.
If you are unfamiliar with U-Bahn, here is a guide that covers the core logic.
Draw a 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.
Cells with circled numbers are stations. Draw a non-intersecting path through the centers of some cells, which travels through every station in ascending order. The path must lie entirely on the loop network.
Between any two consecutive stations, the length of the path must equal the taxicab distance between the two stations.
Solution code: For each row except the last, from top to bottom, the number of lines leading down from that row

Absolute insanity!! I haven't sweat that hard on a U-Bahn in a while, absolutely loved it. I wish I could forget the solution path to this puzzle so I could solve it again.
