This 2009 private cost-benefit analysis of the Dulles Metrorail project provides some insight into the issues surrounding the utility of the new Metrorail line. Because it was conducted several years ago, it does not include the latest higher projected costs for the line. There are also some other assumptions that suspect, but it is good to know that someone has taken the time to carry out such an analysis. Bottom line: It will take at least five decades for the benefits of the line to outweigh costs.
