Public Transit Projects Cheaper Than Uber’s $5.2 Billion Q2 Losses, Ranked

Uber announced a $5.2 billion loss last quarter, bringing the company’s total losses to $16.2 billion since 2016. In completely, totally unrelated news, here are some public transportation projects currently under construction in the United States that cost less than $5.2 billion individually:

1. Chicago Red and Purple Line Modernization Project ($2.1 billion)
2. Los Angeles Regional Connector ($1.76 billion)
   
3. LA Metro Purple Line Extension Phase 1 ($3.2 billion)
4. Minneapolis Southwest Corridor/Green Line Extension ($1.86 billion)
   
5. Seattle East Link rail extension ($2.8 billion)
6. Washington, D.C. Purple Line ($2.1 billion)
   
7. Seattle Lynnwood Link ($3.07 billion)
   

Combined, these seven major public transportation projects are projected to cost $16.89 billion, or about four percent more than Uber’s cumulative losses since 2016.
