More seriously, in Boston we sometimes use the word "subway" to refer to
several MBTA lines, and non-train-nerds don't really distinguish between
the Green Line (which is probably "light rail") and the others. Of
course, real trains sometimes run underground (e.g. near New York Penn
Station).
Yes, also trams can run underground for much more than just a small
stretch of tunnel (e.g. Bonn), and of course the London Underground
frequently runs in broad daylight. In Frankfurt, a lot of suburban
train traffic ("S-Bahn") is underground and a lot of underground
("U-Bahn") is overground.
How is someone to determine whether something is a railway=station or
a railway=subway_station?
Maybe it should be an attribute of the line, and not of the station? A
station with both a subway line and a heavy rail line would be....a
station. A station may have one or more operators (in the case of a
shared station). Or would they be separate stations, so a station has
only one operator?
