this subway line probably shouldn't get the railway=subway tag, as it isn't separated from other traffic, like the wiki requires: "Rails used for city public transport that are always completely separated from other traffic, usually underground." Similarly, in Germany most cities do have "U-Bahn"s (subways) that aren't true subways, but are (legally) trams or light_rail. Cheers, Martin
