New University of Toronto study looks at soaring cost of building transit in Canada .
Canada had the ninth -highest costs and the average came out to $396 million per kilometre.
New Zealand was the highest at $1.04 billion per kmre followed by Qatar and Hong Kong .
A lack of in-house capacity and lack of expertise is costing taxpayers a lot, says Chapple.
Chapple says governments in Canada need to start incorporating techniques and approaches seen in other countries overseas.
The study’s authors say there is no single driver of transit construction costs, nor is there a silver bullet.
