Next stop, Nigeria
Light rail in Lagos, Nigeria? It seems so. What surprises me in the article is the estimate that it will take 20,000 people to build it. Granted, every development economist will tell you that labor-surplus economies should use labor-intensive practices, since they are cheaper and have the added benefit of preventing the jobless from rioting.
The amusing part is that there are some American light rail systems that have fewer daily riders than the Lagos system will have construction workers.
