Ottawa built palaces for LRT stations ... increased costs for access and egress, these items have been associated with the high TTC build costs.

This is something to note for folks who believed our system should have been grade separated. It has huge financial costs. But it also has costs for the users, because it takes time go up and down an escalator or elevator, and walk around to an entrance (sadly we still have that problem despite not having a good justification for it).
