Tram tutorial?

[acec]

Hi,
Is there a tram tutorial available please?  I can get elevated rail & normal railway lines no problem (except for the problem of them being so busy at like 421% usuage) but for some reason, I cannot figure out how to get the tram to work.    I put down the tram tracks, but not sure where they should be connected too......... 

I know I am missing something so basic here, I will probably have a few of you shaking your heads in disbelief!!!!      Maybe one of you has some great screen shot of how you combine different transport modes??

Thanks in advance.

   Have you even used the NDEX GLR to Elevated Rail Lot? I know I don't have any screenies, but maybe if you wanted to connect them to the elevated rail or there are some stations available that you can make a switch off between rail and GLR, but I prefer the EL Rail to GLR Transition... What do you mean by Connection to anyway?
   Did you activate the TRAM Stations, running the EL-Rail across them?

This might be helpful:

Thanks for your reply.   I haven't ever had much luck in getting trams to work and the tutorial you have directed me to, will be of great benefit and hopefully save you all from my 1001 questions.  I haven't activated the tram stations as I had pretty much given up on working out how to use the trams in the first place.   

Public transport is proving to be a nightmare for me and my poor cities...........

  Aren't making any transportation in the game a nightmare, even the default ones are timely at times, especially with big cities... I personally use the Tram kinda' like the Rail for the exception that sometimes it can run on road or avenue. A way to compact, but yeah that tutorial helped me a lot in how to use to.... However what  where when to use it is all up to the individual... Your welcome...And it was no problem at all.
