Assume a 14 Mile System
• $76 Million a Year • $ 15 Million a year
25
26
What are the Relative Capital Costs of a 14 mile System ?
• LRT @ $ 75 million / mile = $ 1.050 BILLION
• 20 year Bond at 4 % = $ 76 M per year
• XRT™ @ $15 million / mile = $ 210 MILLION
• 20 year Bond at 4 % = $15 M per year

Operating costsVARY…………. W I L D L Y
Depends on many factors, # RTV’s, number stops, number miles,
headways, etc

Comparison of Operating Expensesoverall it appears that XRT™ costs
range from 10 % - 15 % higher than LRT
29
30
What if the O and M Costs of XRT™are 10 % of Capital Costs ?
• SO with $ 210 M in Capital cost = $ 21 M
• Capital = $ 15 M per year
• Total = $ 36 M
30
31
Summary of this Discussion
• Regardless of Operating Costs, XRT™ due to Capital expenditures………………..
• XRT™ could logically cost $ 40 million to
$ 50 Million LESS PER YEAR !

As a County, we can not afford to waste $$$ of the
magnitude discussed here today

Key Items for Successful XRT™
• Median Guideways
• Off Vehicle Payment
• Free Wi Fi in Stations and RTV’s
• Guidewheels
• Continuous poured concrete pavement
• Short Headways
• Reliability
