A comment on ‘They Don’t Make These Anymore’: Maintaining the MBTA’s 100-Year-Old Signals. Parent comment
I'm going to see if I can google what a Swiss equivalent costs (pretty certain the Swiss should be more expensive than American workers).
Edit: the only metro in Switzerland is in Lausanne, and it cost SFr590 million ($472 million) for about 6 km (3.7 miles) and 14 stations.
Construction is probably much easier, but the American one still has some pretty brutal cost overruns.
