That might be a case study.
Dublin. It grew by a third over the last hundred years. It has no railway to its airport and one road has the longest traffic jam ever.
We need a Metro, like everyone else, but this won't ride along the Boroughs next to that one long traffic jam we have and birthrates are like Gallic spoken.
Why would we not redesign the Airport roads for arrival and departure for a few hundred thousands building more stops, short term parking and in their face bus lanes with very visible taxi stands, put a lot of the Metro money into way more Exits and roads between the Exits and Dublin to make sure they keep rolling over breaking with plenty of Underground Parking spots digged into below roads, down below house cellars and town piping to demolish all bottlenecks, thereby increasing possibly density by establishing continuities flow.
It is like that: I once had a lousy job in Ballycoolin. That's how they called it. After a few nights in a Hostel I got an even as lousy Landlady, but had a room to figure that short term rental for professionals is a real problem.
Then, I found myself in a Real Estate in walking distance from the Business Park. Well, in my GI Affiliate's walking distance, but on a route with no walkway. That was inconvenient, but no problem. I walked anyway. On the road, around a Roundabout, along the estate fence, through the Gate.
Would I now push forward for a walkway being build for about ever only used by my shoes?
Demand a Bus stop next to a real estate with semi-detached garages, double garages?
Kill my bosses for the bad pay?
Create a Young Urban Professional category on those Room for Rent websites?
That Website be'd aaaal fine. Couldn't afford a car anyway.

PS: Did anyone calculate the macro economic costs of all interruptions the build creates over it's expected stretch, and as the only State ever add an average delay to get an ideal and likely picture?
In which time would the gains of the Metro create a plus considering the continuous growth from alternatives?
Or until tunnel digging tech improved by innovation.
Dublin. No Metro. The Thickest Beer and Ground. Talk to your Taxi Driver. You are Welcome.
Enjoy the only town in which you have to talk to the Bus Driver on route and it's fine.
