Metrorail Costs and Benefits

Beskrivelse

Udpluk af artiklen: "Bent Flyvbjerg of Aalborg University in Denmark has studied many light-rail projects around the world and discovered that on average the ridership is half the projected amount and the costs are much higher than the estimated amount, for a negative rate of return. In addition, he found that large annual losses continue forever and that operations must be supported by local taxes." Bent Flyvbjergs ønsker at understrege, at: "The study and conclusions cited in this article were for rail in general, not light rail in particular".
