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?
