<p>In Dallas the cost per light rail mile was less than $50 million per mile, even when adjusted for inflation, because most of the system was built along existing or abandoned rail lines. The two exceptions were the above ground transit way through downtown and the tunnel under Central Expressway. </p> <p>The proposed Austin light rail system would have to acquire its rights-of-way from various land owners. Thus, the cost of the easements will be substantially higher than was the case in Dallas.</p>
