You need to consider the price of road infrastructure in the total cost of buses. If that is not considered, then you could just as easily just calculate the cost of trains by excluding the rail and signalling-cost (and you would be just as incorrect).
- sokoloff 5y agoYou should certainly consider the buses’ share of the road cost, just like you should consider only the portion of the rail cost that is built and maintained for the commuter usage. If either of those shares is 100%, logically it should be burdened with 100% of the cost. Bus depots, bus maintenance yard, dedicated bus lanes, and bus stop turnouts should all be 100%.
- urthor 5y agoHmm, that's a very good point. I wonder what the cost of tarmac vs rails is, I suppose it's a question for an expert.
