    It’s the only logic way to proceed, my hometown Madrid would be complete madness otherwise

      Wait wait wait. I’m confused. Madrid has a multimodal mass transit system with multiple tiers of value. It’s one of the cities that uses a tram system to connect its bus system to its metro rail. Am I misunderstanding what you’re trying to say?

      Helsinki has had trams from the beginning, and many new residential developments are being built with them in mind. Two examples are Jätkäsaari and Kalasatama.

      Both use the tram lines to connect residents to the adjacent, already existing, metro line.

      Extending the metro line with just one or two stations, 90 degrees off its existing tracks, would be STUPID levels of expensive in comparison.
