By the way, who said it is going to cost $600M to run an electric train from the airport to Riverside South? Your proposal calls for electrifying everything else.

Electrification only costs 1M$ a km. The inflated costs of the original N-S south for that section. It's the rails that are expensive to build.
The Transitway is a good priority, because of its mostly exclusive ROW, and it reaches many sectors of the city, and it values density. And you can connect to other sectors easily.
