I think he meant covering the capital cost. There's no doubt that the M-Line Broadway Extension will operate at a profit, but paying back the capital cost is another thing. Of course, projects like the
Port Mann Bridge don't pay their capital costs either.
Looks like it will be 15 years before the PM Bridge even breaks EVEN with operating costs.
Saying all that, I think the Broadway Extension actually has a good chance of paying back its capital costs as well, but we'll see.
