We warn, however, that the observations used to reach the conclusions are too few to obtain results with statistical significance. The main reasons for the high variation in the route-kilometre costs are differences between projects as regards the ratio of underground to above-ground construction, ground conditions, station spacing, type of rolling stock, environmental and safety constraints and labour costs. Including US projects, the range is US$50-150 million. Looking at European projects and excluding outliers, the total capital costs per route-kilometre (including stations and rolling stock) lie mainly between US$50-100 million (2002 prices). We conclude that capital costs per routekilometre of urban rail vary highly between projects. The methodology applied is a simple cost comparison across projects where the data collected are comparable.
This paper aims to provide a first stage insight into how cost per kilometre varies across urban rail projects. Knowledge of the differences in costs per kilometre, including explanations of differences and their breakdowns is currently lacking in the literature. Independent consultant and university lecturer on transportation and planningīecause of the prominent position of urban rail in reducing urban transport-related problems, such as congestion and air pollution, insights into the costs of possible new urban rail projects is very relevant for those involved with cost estimations, policy makers, costbenefit analysts, and other target groups.
