Initial Bus Rapid Transit Implementation
East-West Lower City (14 km @$1 M/km)) Short term $14,000,000
Central North-South Corridor (6.5 km @$10 M/km) Medium term $65,000,000
East-West Mountain (14 km @ $5 M/km) Long term $70,000,000
Other Corridors Long term $10,000,000
Sub-total $159,000,000
The North-South corridor is James and Upper James route. That corridor is going to have transit lanes in the middle like St. Clair at Toronto. You can see the idea at the report. So really the majority of the cost is towards construction of transit lanes, terminals, etc. I don't mind because it'll be cheap and easy to convert to LRT in the future, just add tracks and new trams.
