Only true per passenger if the ridership actually justifies LRT. The OPEX savings may only be $20M per year per that report (apparently without factoring feeder service required for LRT, and I wonder how 'right-sized' the BRT numbers actually are...
It seems to be well over $2B extra to go LRT instead of BRT in the south...which is an awful lot to save $20M/year
