Still, that's like, 2x the cost of ours if you divide out the length. Our folks did a really, really good thing here - let's never forget that.
Not going to argue if they did a good job; just something to keep in mind - part of the Finch LRT goes underground, this add millions to the cost. Also Finch goes through a much more heavily populated areas, and not as much 'green' space as our LRT, this also adds millions in costs.
Anyway, looking forward to when this ION starts running....
