Two things. 1 is that they're planning to use a lot of cut and cover which is a lot cheaper but more disruptive. 2 is that the project isn't complete yet so those final cost figures are still fiction.

No, only the stations are cut and cover. They have ordered 17 tbm for the tunnels.

About the cost estimate, I don't have any other completely underground metro line in a developing country to compare. But Is it the labor costs in developed countries?
