Running the numbers on light rail

When Phoenix was building its light rail system, I made the following two-part bet:This bet has been tested in a number of cities, including LA and Albuquerque, and I have not lost yet. Now the numbers are in for Phoenix...
- I could take all the money spent on construction and easily buy a Prius for every single daily rider, with money to spare.
- I could take the operating deficits for light rail and buy everyone gas to run their Prius 10,000 miles per year and still have money left over.
