What's your source? Wikipedia cites several sources at a budget of over 100m. The fact is this project is over 4x the initial budget sold to voters. It's a total money pit and political scam.

- Arnt 4y agoWhat's 4×, in more detail? Let me describe a project I know: This thing was approved and is now well over budget. This happened because they decided to increase capacity by about 50% after getting approval, because of additional noise insulation required, and because construction prices have increased by perhaps 20% in the last couple of years. These added up to a doubling or a little more. Could you describe the components of that HSR 4× overrun in a similar level of detail?
