>>1003539Interestingly though, there is a project for a subway line which would cover the burb-towns I propose to cover with tram lines. It was a gianormous project that was eventually mothballed because it's completely non-viable on an economic level, since it would require over 22km of rail tunnel, all the while we have an unfinished subway line missing it's central section, and various other subway line extension projects.
However, despite this, there's almost no interest in considering a tram system which would cost a fraction of that subway line, have better coverage, and double as a feeder to the commuter rail line, as well as an urban transport toward the city, while the subway line would only work as an urban transport, also stopping short before the city center (the idea was that it would be eventually extended into the city, as if 22km of rail tunnel weren't enough).
The irony is that these towns are always like
>HURR we're cities and not suburbsand yet they prefer a subway line which would make them seem even more like burbs belonging to the city, rather than a tram which would actually be centered on them and behave like an urban transport for these cities, and not so much an extension of Barcelona's public transit.
Gotta love how this country full of idiots with small dicks that can only accept extremes: either a full-on subway costing gorillions, or nothing at all. Just nuke this fucking place already.
