Isn't that kind of the point? The N-C transitway is much lower-hanging fruit.
The idea of this comparison isn't to figure out which would be best bang-for-the-buck normalizing for new bridges etc., it's to figure out which would be best value given the constraints that are actually there.
And of course, the N-C LRT isn't in the comparison because the SE LRT isn't either... it's only looking at busses.
