Some likeness could be seen in the fact that trams physically operate on a ground level of the shopping mall :) But you're right, they don't bring passengers right to the doors of a travel office :) I'd rather say that cases above are kinda "tram and car joint parking". However, "trams under a roof" is a bit wider definition: https://transphoto.org/photo/112320/
The picture above is more than 10 years old, but when I visited the place, it didn't look more cosy.
The situation in Christchurch is unique until further notice. I certainly didn't visit all the tramlines in the world, but a lot anyway. And this has no equivalent.
As far as I remember, it was planned to build a shopping mall and an office building over the “Lesnaya street” loop in Moscow. However, that loop was simply abandoned with the whole line. Later a dead-end track was introduced; endly that line was extended (in fact, the tracks removed in 1970s were recovered) and the new loop was built further.

My comparsion with Samara and Kyiv was rather ironical. That cities simply wanted to build one more another shopping center, and for some reasons they couldn't abandon tram lines in that places, so they decided to keep tram loops in that ugly way.
