Structural engineering, traffic, and economic estimations are among factors which must be considered in making decision in favor of adopting underground railway or underground tramway system; railway system, especially one with branch lines, is more efficient; however, underground tramway system has advantage of rapidly improving traffic situation by putting into operation its sections before final completion of entire line; this is especially of great importance in German cities where motto is accepted -- through underground tramway to underground railway.
