You have evidence for this absurd and libellous accusation (OK, probably not libellous because you didn’t single out any specific individuals, but still absurd)?
Unfortunately, the problems are harder to figure out than a simple case of corruption. Scapegoating is easy. Understanding what is being done in construction that is causing the costs to balloon unreasonably is much harder.
I have to agree with ijmorlan here...
The costs of the LRT have more to do with our ridiculous engineering and consulting practices intended to reduce liability than it does corruption. I don't see open corruption here.
I see the same engineering practices which demand 3.6 meter wide lanes on residential streets at play here.
