That's kind of the point though, if you grade separate it you can run 70km/h. If you run it through a busy street with traffic and pedestrians, it's more liekly to be 30. So what I am saying is by doing this, they are turning a commuter line into a local slow tramline that doesn't really have benefits to any group.
