The bulk of the money goes to an exclusive right-of-way which enhances the quality of service to an extent that you have not included.
At (MdJ4F) you can see a chart comparing (Rail vs Bus) VS (How it gets there).
I like the idea of an electrically powered bus (preferable in ground inductive instead of overhead wires) with a tiny battery for 1-2 mile of off line range.
Either way the cost of purchase or rehab of an exclusive ROW is expensive be needed for high speed public transit.

the problem is traffic. those buses add to congestion and greenhoise gas emissions. not a fast ride for commuters and sucks for the earth.

Curious. What about the gas to fuel all those buses, every day, 24/7? Was that figured into this 'equation?' The main point of light rail is its energy efficiency. I'm sure there are less snarky ways of looking at and controlling a budget and being proactive for the environment. This really isn't it.

@Dijeratic Yeah, we factored in fuel costs and a number of other costs as well. You can view all our assumptions by clicking the link in the videos comments.
This video was meant to put some perspective on $1.5b. Feel free to post your ideas for how to spend the money!
