| Comment | The subway extension is costed at somewhere in the region of £2.5bn. That's about £5000 for each and every person in the city, not taking into account that even when upgraded it still wouldn't serve everybody. Probably more like £20k per actual user.
So, no, it's not a clear case that it would pay for itself, and the same money would go a lot further in other transport options. |
