<br />According to the National Transit Database, buses cost $0.50 to $0.60 per passenger mile
<br /> to operate, on average, across the United States. Therefore $0.55 per mile was used here
<br />Since a breakdown of busway costs was not available, they were split using Northstar as a
<br /> basis. Rail vehicle cost percentages were assigned to buses. Trackwork and signal cost
<br /> percentages were assigned to pavement. This formed the basis for annualizing the capital
<br /> The busway was assumed to be 82 miles long; the same length as Northstar.
<br />Busway cost per passenger mile was estimated for ridership at 100%, 80%, and 60% of
<br /> estimated Northstar ridership.
