I think solution 2 would be better, because if you would take solution 1, you would need much more trains, and thats very expensive

o.k. If you have enough money just test it!

Running overlapping lines has no advantages from the game mechanics standpoint. Any person or cargo item chooses it's used lines on departure from home/production, and will not deviate from this. So running a line in parallel that has not been chosen initially will never be used even if that line is leaving first.
Instead, the choice will depend on the frequency of either line for all cases where both lines will reach the destination. You will end up having two lines in parallel, one running slightly less often than the other and thus not being used, and the other overcrowded. Having only one line would be better in this case.
In general, the game does not support any "just take the next bus that goes in the correct direction", so it is impossible to implement lines such as A-B-C-D and additional B-C to transport the increased inner traffic.

I do this successfully. Long line and several short "Regio"-Lines...
-
Now you only have to define "success", and I have to define "impossible".
-
The short lines take away some passengers from the long line, but the total of all lines is greater than the long line alone...
-
In general i use one line A-B-C-D-E-F-G... with as much trains to get a phase(?) of 4-5 Minutes...
Edith has some pictures for @serbianrailways:
The longest line, connecting 8 towns...
5 towns (blue) and 4 towns (yellow). Both lines use the same track and stations between Gera and Kromsdorf:
4 towns (blue) and 5 (black). Both lines use the same track and stations between Gera and Tambach:
This is the "high speed" track for the ICE. It connects 5 towns, all except Sprötau located on the "yellow" line on the first picture:
Two short "regio" lines, also located on the "long yellow" track:
Finally some numbers...
