$40 million per mile for LRT!? Does anyone build anywhere close to that cheap lately? Most new LRT construction fall within $75-$100 million per km ($120-160 millions per mile).
EDIT: I missed the LRV cost calculation. But still, his calculation seems to be on the cheap side for the LRT - I don't think you can even buy LRV at 3.2 millions a piece.
And also, according to his calculation, 31 million riders for LRT but only 18 millions for subway?
