23 Public Investment Advantage Ferry v. Other Options In Connection with MAFB Commuter 3 x 200 PAX ferries 1800/peak; 2400 commute period. 1 Lane Interstate can carry 2,200 vehicles/hour. Adding one lane mile to major roadways = $20 million/mile. One lane mile addition for urban interstate = $50 to $100 million/mile. SunRail costs $1.2 billion plus millions in on-going state and local operating subsidies for initial 30 mile system. Proposed system capital cost 32X less than SunRail. Bus option would require 61 buses, >$3 million in operating subsidies plus buses would be stuck in traffic.
