Don't forget the enormous land-use opportunity cost of a metro road network. In Los Angeles,I once read in the LA Times that when you factor in residential and commercial parking, drive ways, and incedental adjacent land consumed eg in ramps medians and cloverleaf's, more than 80% of land in the LA basin is devoted to auto use.
