What alternatives are you talking about? We know a subway would be significantly better than what they’re building now.
- rayiner 3y agoHow much would a 68 mile subway under Vegas cost?
- jakelazaroff 3y agoProbably marginally more than a 68 mile tunnel system for cars?
- Veedrac 3y ago> The US has a range of subway construction costs of $600 million to $2.6 billion per mile. The US median price cluster is $800 million to $1 billion per mile. 68 miles would cost the city around $50B, if past trends hold true. Contra, Vegas Loop is being fully covered by private funds. In defense, one subway mile is likely worth more than one Loop mile.
- rayiner 3y agoA modern 68-mile subway system under Vegas would cost probably $100 billion. LA just expanded its subway system for $1 billion a mile. In comparison, the Boring Company did the 1.7-mile Las Vegas Convention center tunnel for a $47 million fixed price.
