Why the Jerusalem light rail goes above ground near The Old City

So, here we are. The light rail has a stop called Sha'ar Shechem. And the announcements actually haven't been working on the train. Don't know why. It's near the Damascus Gate, which you might be able to see in a moment. It's sort of down there. And we're outside, and we can see the old city. See the walls of the old city. Now, when they were building this 20 years ago, somebody said, somebody who never used the train said, "You know what? I think it'd be very nice if people could every day see the walls of the old city as they traveled here." And they decided to put the cars in a tunnel and the train on the street instead of reverse. And I think if you ask anybody who travels here, they would much rather go quickly in and out of Jerusalem, get to where they need to go, and while the walls are pretty, they can always get out of the train, and they can look at the walls. But after, you know, every day, a person it doesn't have the same effect. Plus, it's also just the walls. It's not a religious thing to see. It's just an old wall uh made a few thousand years ago or something like that. It's not biblical. So, there we have it. We're outside, and we sometimes get stuck in traffic, and we sometimes get stuck in the traffic lights.
