Which is more costly to build, skytrain or subway?
    #21753988 - 06/02/15 06:00 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hello.  A long time ago, I was chattng with my friend, and we were debating over which kind of transportation, skytrain, or subway, would be more expensive to build.  Skytrain is like this: https://www.google.ca/search?q=leg+falling+asleep+meaning&biw=780&bih=381&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=hxdtVfzrFI_WoASckoPYDA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&dpr=1.75#tbm=isch&q=skytrain it is the major form of transportation in our city.  Subway is the underground kind.

She thought that skytrain would be more expensive to build, because it required a pillar/column every few meters or so, in order to support the overall structure (and the tracks).  But I said that in order to build a subway, engineers would need to dig a hole in the ground for miles and miles, they would also need to find a place for all the soil they displaced.  They would also need to have structures in place to make sure the hole didn't cave in.

So, what does shroomery think?  Is skytrain more expensive to build, or subway?

I have a feeling that subway tunnels are generally more expensive to construct. The hardness of the material they have to drill through would be a big consideration I guess. Probably would not be too hard to find cost comparison estimates from some real-life projects where both options were considered.
