So 6 years to project start. Then just a few more years for completion. All in we are looking to a decade out for project completion +/- a few years.
Meanwhile, in Canada they can't even get a timeline or funding for a single line on the most obvious corridor. And the second most obvious corridor has no timelines, and is only a study of feasibility at this time.
And to think, this is outright slow compared to internal Chinese infrastructure projects. Meanwhile in the US we'd kill someone to get some basic infrastructure built in under a decade.
Canada is utterly incapable of building infrastructure, Toronto took over a decade to build a LRT line around Eglinton, and then then found out that the rail width was slightly off so the line is still not operational.
