Udpluk fra artiklen: "According to Danish Professor Bent Flyvbjerg and colleagues who conducted a worldwide study of the cost of estimating on 258 transit projects, "In 9 out of 10 transportation infrastructure projects, cost are underestimated and for rail projects actual costs are on average 45 percent higher than estimated costs. This underestimated percentage of true cost has not varied in 30 years". So while costs could easily mushroom to the $6 billion range, the artificially inflated potential rider estimates will not materialize."
