[quote user="henry6"] And most of the money for these purchases are from the US Government and states.  [/quote] Not necessarily!  Austin's Capital Metro is implementing two rapid bus routes in 2014.  The cost of the system will be $47.6 million.  Eighty per cent of the funding is coming from the federal government.  On the other hand, the Austin and Western rail line, which hoists the Leander to Austin Red Line commuter rail service, was upgraded without any federal or state money. Light rail enthusiasts in Austin want the taxpayers to support a bond issue to help build a light rail line from Bergstrom International Airport to downtown and the University of Texas. The estimated cost of the light rail line is in the neighborhood of $48 million per mile.   The cost of Capital Metro's rapid bus system, which will run approximately 20 miles, including equipment, will be approximately the cost of one mile of light rail in Austin.  Inside of 20 miles rapid bus technology, in many instances, is a better choice.
