<p>[quote user="MidlandMike"]</p> <p>Sam1, in <em>Trains</em> frequently (it seems like about every other issue but I'm sure it's less) they talk about another new DART line or expansion. Does Dallas-FW now have a better handle on costs, or have they not learned their lesson, or is something else going on? [/quote]</p> <p>DART has extended the Blue Line, as well as developed the Orange and Green lines, since the initial lines were opened.</p> <p>I don't know whether the management has a better handle on its costs, other than to say that according to an article in the Dallas Morning News about a year or so ago, the Orange line was more than $1 billion over budget.</p> <p>Having worked on the budgets for several power plants, with estimated costs in the neighborhood of five to eight billion dollars, bringing the project in on time and under budget is a real challenge. </p>
