How Much Does a Transit Station Cost to Engineer?
Transit station engineering typically costs $2,000,000 to $15,000,000+, depending on the type (at-grade, elevated, underground), the intermodal, and the systems. Transit stations are the infrastructure's specialty: the 1,000-foot platforms (the trains'), the 100-year (the durability's), and the 24/7 (the operations'). Expect engineering at 8-12% of construction — the public's.

Structural: the station's types
The at-grade (the platforms' — the canopies'; the economical), the elevated (the guideway's — the columns'; the vibration), the underground (the box's — the excavation; the waterproofing's), and the intermodal (the bus's — the rail's; the transfers').
The transit's systems
The fire/life safety (the NFPA 130's — the egress; the smoke's — the modeled), the MEP (the 24/7 — the redundant; the fare's — the gates'), the communications (the SCADA's — the integrated; the PA's), and the accessibility (the ADA's — the elevators'; the detectable's).
Delivery
The agency (the FTA's — the funded; the NEPA's), the operations (the 24/7 — the phased; the shutdowns' — the weekend), the schedule (the grant's — the obligated), and the 100-year (the durability's — the designed). The station's — the city's gateway; the engineering's — the enduring.
The bottom line
Budget $2,000,000-$15,000,000+ for transit station engineering (8-12% of construction) — NFPA 130 fire/life safety, 100-year durability, phased 24/7 operations.
