Initially this was largely uncontroversial, but as tram stations were being shut down years ahead of subway construction - or even without any subway station anywhere nearby even planned - discontent started to rise. Furthermore, the municipal finances, which had been healthy in the 1960s when the decision to build the subway was taken, were becoming increasingly strained and thus a fully fledged three- or even four-line network seemed to be decades away if it was ever going to happen. In consequence this would mean that subway extension beyond a certain point would almost certainly "shrink" the tram system to an unsustainable size but connecting every neighborhood that had heretofore had tram service to the U-Bahn seemed out of the question as well.

sections of U2 shared with U3. By late 2009 confidence in the new system was large enough that full automatization of U2 was decided upon and since 2 January 2010 (the day after New Year's Day) all trains in revenue service on U2 have been fully automated. This represents the first existing rapid transit line in the world to be converted from fully manual operation to fully automated operation. However, the system has not attracted as many customers outside
Nuremberg as had been hoped for when the decision to automate the line was taken.

Ziegelstein. This was formerly indicated by short terminating trains being indicated as "U21". The station serving the airport has two platform tracks but usually only one is used for passenger service. Occasionally a train with minor defects or awaiting a later departure will wait on the mostly unused second platform track.

As the construction of U2 neared its end, debates intensified about whether to expand the U-Bahn network further - and if so where - and what to do about the tramway network. At the time of the decision to build the subway, it was planned to shut down the tramway as U-Bahn lines were opened.
