Which of course becomes a suburban railway, and not a metro at all.
The total journey requires getting to the station as well.
The are figures for general acceptability for walking to transport.
IIRC to a railway station, down from 1.5 km to 800 m; to a tram around 400
m; to a bus down to 200 m.
Except in Perth, station designers have never been able to design an
effective bus-train interchange.
130 km/h does nothing for urban transport, but is useful for interurban
(intercity for NSW readers).
