How do I build a metro track since it can't connect to the track construction office?

I'm trying to build a metro system and I connected a track builder with electric tracks to a train depot, and then the metro tracks plans to the depot, but the track builder can't build anything without connecting to it. But metro and electric tracks can't touch, metro tracks can't come out of a track builder, and electric tracks can't connect to a metro end station. How do I build this?

Built a short of normal track and than connect the metro track.

Wait, what? Why does this work?

So that you can build the metro tracks ;)

I think the idea is that different electric tracks can't be connected because they have different types of electricity, one is DC (Metro) the other AC (Train).

But it would be make sence, that metrotracks could be direkt connected to the construction office.

Metro has so many weird restrictions. I wish they had just given us the ability to make underground rail tunnels that work according to the same rules as the rest of the network, instead of creating this less-functional separate thing there's really no compelling reason to bother with.

I hate signalling so I really like the metro system, it should just be more clear how to build it in realistic mode.

Not really related to the original subject (sorry), but can you please elaborate? I have a line, not too long. The tunnel could/should have a capacity of 4-6 trains, but now I can only have 2? Thanks!
