The New Hybrid FlyerStandard New Flyer heavy transit buses cost $250,000 (30-50 people). Articulated buses about double, but can carry 150. LRT cars are 8 times the bus price and carry 250. LRT cars last twice as long. (This estimate of relative costs is very approximate)
Some published snippets about bus prices.
PHILADELPHIA – September 27, 2007 – At its regular monthly meeting the SEPTA Board today approved the purchase of 400 new diesel-electric hybrid 40-foot low floor buses from New Flyer of America, Inc. for a contract price of $212,387,236.00.
General Manager Fernandez said Wednesday before the board vote that the $547,739 per [60-foot buses] bus proposed purchase price for the 19 Van Hools is “fair and reasonable,” and rejected assertions that comparable buses by other manufacturers could be purchased for a cheaper price. In addition, Fernandez said that if Van Hool eventually won the contract after competitive bidding, it is likely that inflation over the time of the extended bidding and contract award process would drive up Van Hool’s price.
The hybrids (non-articulated?) cost $645,000 each – approximately $200,000 more than a new diesel bus.

There are many free online games readily available for young kids, teens, as well as grown

able to appease everyone of your player-base.
