This is my idea for the cheapest possible alignment for a metro/urban rail type of service for Kraków, Poland. It reuses disused or very lightly used railway alignments that already exist. This plan doesn't require a single tunnel and only a few viaducts. Further expansion could include a tunnel through the city center connecting the main station with Błonia. The lines are numbered in order of how useful they would be. It also includes a possible further expansion through a city center tunnel and 3 different variants south of Vistula.
