The $8.5 Million+ 60-day Test for a Street Car

Admitadly, I'm not very good with math. Squeaked by with a C-, a lot. But I'm having a very hard time understanding the economics and numbers for spending $8.5 million to refurbish some rail lines to operate a glorified bus from Olympic Station to Granville Island for 60-days. It's a 1.8km street car! (Via CTV)

What is this? 1875? Oh, and we've borrowed these quasi buses from Bombardier, who made those awesome torches that keep going out. So we have that going for us. All this is supposed to make us want to make this permanent and expand the program around the city? Are we taking CRAZY pills here?
