But the cost comes down with each additional mile built. That $16
million includes the right-of-way purchases and design ... one time
expenses. As more track is laid the cost per mile drops. Anyway, are
you speaking of light rail? I think that figure is for the Baltimore
Metro (the subway) not MART.

I would expect a robotic underground station to run at about 2 or 3
million per copy (depending on real estate costs).
