Yes, but Surrey-Langley is primarly going through forests and farmland, along a generally free existing RoW (Fraser Highway).
Phibbs-Metrotown needs a
bridge along with some non-trivial amount of tunnelling, which, rule of thumb, should be around double the cost of elevated rail.
Double the length does not always mean double the price.
