Between 1995 and 2007, Madrid tripled its metro network by adding 127 miles of track and 157 stations at a cost of $12.5 billion.
In Canada/USA, subway construction costs average more than $1 billion per mile. If we could build at scale and at a lower cost, we'd be unstoppable.

Iām sure it would cost a lot more to build it now, but big public infrastructure projects are able to happen, unlike in the UK.
