@produktion Yes thank you, will fix it.

If I'm not mistaken, the "AVP transit trolleybus 50 km/h" turns inte the pattern of "default high speed tunnel 350 km/h". And sets speed to 300 km/h.
At least when I build the 50 transit and put it from ground to tunnel it changes to that optics. (as of today)

Welcome to the game, it's a great one! Yes all track is compatible with each other even if it should not be in real life.

Understood, thank you. I just got the game so I wasn't entirely sure how track stuff worked. I've got a bit of an understanding now. Much appreciated!

It should not conflict as long as the mod names are unique, and I can't see why they would not be unique. Buses etc. should easily transition from one type of track to another. Whether it blends well cosmetically, probably depends on each person's preferences.

OK, thanks. I got the idea.

@Harbie Like in this scrreenshot.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3077735533) - the trolley wires on the left hang slightly left of the tram track, but the trolleybus runs (from below) on the tram tracks and then when the tram tracks move to the right, would follow the crossover lane marked with white lines to merge into the lane with trolleybus tracks. This way the trolleybus will not run through a tram as it runs the same track, but of course the trolley poles (which are in the center) do not follow the trolleybus wires.

@Harbie Seilergraben is easy, just lay too parallel tracks, one for tram and one for ETB. .Badenerstrasse and e.g. Lowenplatz stop are more difficult. If I just lay a tram lane and a bus lane, even if very close to each other, just to have trolley wires hang just off the side and not over the tracks, because NIMBY ignores the width of the trains, a tram and a bus can be in virtually the same spot at the same time (and thus visibly be inside each other). Signals also won't help unless you make the two lanes cross. This is where I split the bus lane on approach to this spot into two parallel lanes, one with wires that runs just to the side of the center of the tram lane (overlapping with it but not completely), and the other lane without wires that merges into the tram lane and that the trolley bus actually runs. And the reverse procedure at the end of this spot.

There are other spots too but Google maps didn't have such good photos. Here the buses and trams definitely can't pass one another.
Optimally speaking it would be great to do both in Nimby... which I think will be achieved if you implement your proposal of combining the tram track and bus lane so they can't pass - hope I understood your proposal correctly ?
As in real life, if we want them to be able to pass, need to build 2 lanes, i.e. in my case, middle lanes for the trams and outer lanes for the trolleys. That would be the Seilergraben case.

Zürich has got all sorts where tram / trolley bus running is concerned. Seilergraben just off Central (https://maps.app.goo.gl/2Vzawoow9cVgd9w1A) has the tram wires in the middle with the trolley wires on the outside of the tram wires... On this particular road the trolley buses and trams can and do actually pass one another. You can see that if you switch to Street View.
There's also the situation of your suggestion where the trams and buses share lanes.
Badenerstrasse (Farbhof stop) probably has the best pictures (https://maps.app.goo.gl/w8NLBCaeJzTWyZmC8) .

@Harbie Yes I am compiling a tram track pack right now that will use the same asphalt surface colors (and other surfaces). Love Zurich trams and trolleybuses. Not sure if it's your ZVV map I saw recently but it looked great! I recall in Zurich there are shared lanes where both trams and trolleybuses can run, with the trolleybus wires being hung slightly to the side. Although not ideal, in NIMBY in these cases I create a separate track for trolleybuses just to the side, but actually have the trolleybus run on the tram track. This helps avoid trolleybuses and trams passing through each other, although of course trolleybus poles do not follow the wires in this case.

This looks really realistic !
Do you have any plans to extend this to include trams with and without (trolley) buses ?
I've been building in Zürich and there are cases where buses and trams are on the same 'tracks'.
I've been using the mod from muxi which covered trams and buses together but doesn't have the overheads for trolleys.
