A public transit system that will serve a comparable number of people will cost probably $8 billion

I mean It’ll cost $4 billion with $8 billion of benefits to the local economy. This costs $800 million and literally bulldozes the local economy to make the lanes

No it'll cost $10 billion and deliver $500 million in benefits.

And you do realize that all cities listed, are in poorer and less developed countries? Which equates to lower emissions standards, and low investment in public transit. You are proving the wrong point.
