How much does the road repair cost, compared to the tracks? My perception is that tracks last decades with minimal maintenance.

The manned stations are not a distinct factor, by the way. Tram stations are usually not manned either.

Tram tracks last about 35 years here in Zurich, but some of the hotspots have to be redone every 8 years. It also heavily depends on the type of trams you‘re running.
