9/10 transit projects in the world go over budget (link to study below) but somehow Metrolinx has stumbled on the formula that allows them to correctly predict costs right? Oh wait; many of their recent projects have gone over budget including the Presto rollout, Toronto Union Station reno, and the Sheppard line (which, along with UPX lose money month over month.) Mark my words, the Hamilton LRT will go over budget and the James St Spur will be the first victim of cost overruns. At any rate Jason, you must be the first person in Ontario to call Metrolinx "experts." Pick up a newspaper sometime and see that the TTC Union is suing them for incompetence.
