Yeah, as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, it makes sense that the LRT line in a city is cheaper per passenger mile than a bus line in the same city. This makes sense because the LRT will be in the most dense part of the city and along the busiest of the city's routes. The statistic isn't saying that LRT is cheaper per mile compared to BRT along the same mile so we have to be careful with how we interpret that data.

Why are we not taking into account that LRT has been demonstrated to generate more investment than buses?

It's not hard to change a bus stop, it's a little bit more involved to move an LRT station.

Operating costs are important, but so is ROI.
