BRT does run on existing rights-of-way for the most part.  Commuter and light rail do likewise. The Capital Metro Red Line uses a freight railway to get from Leander to Austin.  The cost to upgrade the line was in the neighborhood of $5.5 million per mile.  All of Dallas Area Rapid Transit's (DART) light rail lines, with the exception of the Orange Line extension to DFW and the tunnel under Central Expressway, was built on existing or abandoned rail lines. And when I was in Charlotte a few years ago, I rode the light rail line in that fair city. It too had been built for the most part along an abandoned rail line. One can ride all day on the Red Line for $5.25. It too is a real bargain as long as one overlooks the subsidies that are covered by the taxpayers, a very few of whom ride the train.
