Get ready to see a lot more BRT lines in the future.

Hey sounds like you're unfamiliar with handling the difference between
real and nominal values. For a more basic understanding, I'd also recommend you get familiar with the concept of
"time value of money".
Just because dollar values were nominally lower in the past, and present dollar values are nominally higher, doesn't mean that our ability to build infrastructure projects is somehow compromised. BRT lines are cheaper, but eventually they too will nominally cost $6 Billion to build.
