The trouble with trollybuses is that you will need 2 electrical conductors and a pair of wheel type pickups, this limits the size of the vehicle as well.
Trams that run on dedicated zones can be fully automated.
"One km of underground metro is 4 times more expensive than building tram track. I think this rubber instead of concrete also requires diversion of subterranean utilities because not only track - also trams are very heavy. Or am I wrong? I´d like to know arguments how to improve tram track."

I've got a better way.
Install trolleybuses instead - no tracks, no disruption, and at a fraction of the cost.

"Very interesting i wonder how the costs of this would compare with Edinburgh tram costs which are running at about £75million per mile."
