ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

The ~880MM is the closest of those numbers to a billion.

I think the Grandlinq contract total value might be higher. But of course that is an arbitrary number which could have been made to come out arbitrarily high by going for a different number of years. 30 years of maintenance and operation turns out to be a lot of money.

I also forgot to mention gross expense or net of fare revenue, which because of integration with the bus system introduces a whole other set of complexities. Turns out buying transit systems isn’t like buying pens and pencils.

Yes, the Grandlinq total contract is higher, but AFAIK it's considerably more than 120 million over 1 billion...hence, 880MM is the closest number.

Try to tell that to some folks lol.
