Grand River Transit

[danbrotherston]

Again, as bravado and neonjoe point out, this number is a complete fabrication. It seems designed to kill the project.

But in any case, the real cost of construction will be much lower, but even the real number is too high. RM Transit has a number of good segments on this.

The reason why this number is a problem is that we need more transit, if we spend 4 billion building a small LRT extension...then we will never be able to afford enough transit to make a transit friendly city.

Nor should it cost this much...I don't understand why we're so willing to trust engineers and planners when we ridicule them so much when it comes to planning roads. You realize the same fools who don't believe that it is impossible to drive down a 3 meter wide lane are the same ones swearing up and down the walls that an LRT should cost a quarter billion dollars per km.
