Because the metro needs to go up and down very quickly there, it is very steep, i mean the metro is above the ground in the "city center", and needs to go underground to reach trainstations. Tracks needs a lot more space to do that. I also don't know if automated metros on tracks exists, but this was the first automated metro in the world (or 2nd, depends from the source), maybe it was easier to design ?
