What's not to like?

Green space being used for vehicles instead of for people, even if it is public transport.

It can and should be both whenever possible.

Unlike roads that need to be completely covered in asphalt, rail only needs, well, rails. The rest can be occupied with greenery, and this is a fantastic example of doing just that.

It is still visually pleasing, still captures CO2, and as a bonus reduces noise coming from the trams. Everybody wins!

Don't forget that green areas such as this massively cool cities as well (compared to asphalt).

Something which is becoming increasingly important due to climate change.
