Total income of the service? This is a public good. Income shouldn't matter.

Ok, but what if I told you there are 4.1 million daily rider in the Parisian system and only 2.4 in the NY one? How does that compare now?

Spending 1 billion on a station that serves 10 million riders is different than spending 35 million on a station that serves 15k riders. These projects scale up to their service needs. All stations and projects are not equal.

Stop comparing nominal cost.

????? You can't be serious right?

Whats the better value: Station 1 that costs 100 dollars and serves 1 person Station 2 that costs 200 dollars and serves 200 people.

Are you going to build station 1 because it's cheaper?

I gave you a more realistic example previously but clearly the brainpower required to understand that one went over your head, hence why I had to reduce it to an impaired 2nd grade level. Looks like it didn't work.
