Interesting comparison with Edmonton, lrt's friend
Old Plan (
Chiarelli)
2.8 bil LRT (102 KM) + $600 mil BRT (61 KM) = 3.4 billion (163 KM)
New Plan (
Phase 1)
$2.5 bil LRT (40 KM) + $500 mil BRT (35 KM) = 3 billion (75 KM)
btw, the reason the BRT in the new plan is so much more expensive per KM is because of the Hurdman interchange ($40 mil) and Baseline to Norice ($185 mil for 1.5 KM)
maybe later I will compare "new" KM of rapid transit vs "upgrades"
