Routing transport underground is simply one of the ways you can do it, along with having it be at the surface or above ground level. This applies to all modes of transport (with some exceptions). Tunnelling is and remains the most expensive option, especially when it can't be done using cut-and-cover techniques; it's uncommon for bicycles and pedestrians, but does turn up for several other modes (light rail, heavy rail, road).
The exceptions above? Air travel doesn't usually involve tunnels. It's fairly uncommon for water travel too.
