I’m surprised it’s half the price. I would expect it to be a quarter the price.

Mon ami, it’s Quebec – it should be three times the price.

$13 Billion instead of $36 Billion is closer to a third the price, right?
And for this price we get 31 kms of tram track and 28 stations
And Paris is getting 200 kms of new track, and 68 Metro stations, for just about $51 Billion?
I’d love to hear Frank Lego explain the why and how we get so little for so much

Fair enough, one third.
