Even though the project is combined with a couple other projects, seems insane that a BRT project would cost 85 million per km to build. Especially compared to the LRT project in Kitchener-Waterloo where they're putting 19km of LRT and 17 km of aBRT in for 818 million (43 million/km if you just divide the entire capital cost by the LRT distance, 22 million/km for the entire length).

I believe that most of the winnipeg busway is grade separated. The LRT line in KW is likely mostly not grade separated.
