> The LVCC so far is more expensive, slower to build [than subway]

This is just factually false. LVCC was something like 4x cheaper than its competing non-subway bid and something like 20-30x cheaper than just the amortized cost per mile of subway in the US. Subway also ages to construct in the US.



If you're comparing just to the US, maybe.

It's still much more expensive to operate, per passenger.


Compare it to Europe, same deal, the large constants are just slightly less large.
