Than factor in how terribly it gets designed. I have seen two projects on the Edmonton valley line LRT and both are double the cost and will be triple the time to complete due to how terrible the engineering and srchitectural work was.
Vancouver is a very busy airport, due to Asian traffic. But the business of airports doesn’t mean everyone is staying there, if they are hubs.

I have no idea about value. But they certainly are good to have, if done right. Next time I go to NYC I am seriously thinking about using the train, because taxis and Ubers are a pain in the ass from JFK.
