In Berlin, and I also saw it in Rome, they are building a new U-Bahn - aka Metro, aka Tube - line. That is they are building an entirely new tunnel under the city plus digging out underground stations too. In Australia you would be shot for such behaviour.
The Liberals had ads which pointed out at the last election that Labour wasted money by building high-speed train links to regional Victoria! This was intended to be shown as an obviously ridiculous thing to do!
Even the now-promised "new" South Morang line is on a line and station that already exists (was closed in the 50s according to Wikipedia), and just needs to be renovated, modern signalling added and electrified. And basically they won't even do that.
*sigh*
