"Toronto is getting $8.4 billion in capital costs, plus an operating subsidy from the province. It seems they are not contributing any of the direct capital costs toward construction. Hamilton's B-line (and A-line) would be much cheaper..."

Much cheaper on the whole, sure, but that $8.4B covers four LRT lines (Eglinton Crosstown, The Finch West and Sheppard East LRT, plus Scarborough RT) and 52 kilometers of new transit routes. Evaluated on a per-km basis, would Hamilton -- Mac to Eastgate, a 14km (?) run -- be much cheaper, or roughly just as expensive?
