Last time I looked at plans it seemed the only part underground is the bit through Downtown. There are some trenched areas but those were already trenched for the Transitway. By “a lot” do you just mean “more than ours”?

As to our system, I’m not sure where you would bury it. Uptown is one candidate but the creek probably makes that impractical (not impossible; just really expensive, even by the standards of a buried system).

Correct - 2.5km and three stations on the 12.5km line.
