      In my hometown we have underground "light rail" and tram and all three can go over / under or on the street
      The subway "mostly" runs underground
      The light rail travels mostly above the ground between 2 cities but also underground
      and the tram sometimes goes underground, but only if it is a 2-way wagon with doors on both sides ....
      by the way, "official declaration" from our public transport provider!!!!! ;)

    Great idea and very nice effect! I might make two changes for my own layouts... offset the 2x4 tiles by 2 studs (ie. 2x2, 2x4, ..., 2x4, 2x2) so that cross-walks line up, and use unprinted 8x16 roadplates so that I can move the tram track into the middle (European style). Thanks!

    On the first sight really attractive looking street but then I could not blend out gaps between plates. All looks to me rather a bit clunky that was not the case in the previous plate system. The other think is that one needs to winden the street with additional bricks to make it usable for the current vehicle lineup. In my opinion it is just sad. On the good side my vintage like 6693 or 6645 sets are actually still good for this width ;)

    So, the roadplates are already higher than the sidewalks for modulars and now that you made the road plates even higher (baseplate + 2x4 tiles below, what did you do to compensate for that with your modular buildings. They look higher. Overall 1000% stoked to use this method in my city, just not sure how you raised your buildings up.
