Total cost of lease/purchase of all land in the right-of-way is estimated at $1.5 billion for the initial operating section and $4 billion (inclusive) for the full phase 1 system (this is only about 6-7% of the total cost), by far the biggest expenditures are for construction and in operational overhead.
