^you have to think within reality as well. $2 billion for the line isn't realistic really, its too low on a per km basis. $3 billion is more realistic and is in line with what a subway like this would be expected to cost on a per km basis. If it starts to go much more above that the cost starts to get really unusually large for a project like this, it simply isn't likely.
Spacings report failed to account for dollar years as well, it was a pretty glaring hole. When it jumped from $2.5 billion to $3 billion it wasn't actually a change in projected price, but a change from 2010 $ to escalated $.
When comparing the cost of the subway to the cost of the LRT you should use $2010, but everyone uses the escalated $ which is not a level comparision.
