The price of a bus stop

[QuasiBelgium]

I wanted to feed my metro with buses. However, I was shocked to see how much it'd cost me to place a bus stop:


Placing it at the other side of the intersecting road, however, would cost me the actual price of the bus stop:


I'm not sure if this is a bug or something I'm overlooking. What is causing this price difference?

EDIT: In the first image, the price is already reduced to 60 if I only place it at the other side of the metro entrance.

Interesting! Is it because the first position is close to an underground metro station? Or is there some sort of land value trigger based on the buildings around?

The expensive price takes into account bulldozing things to make room for the stop - possibly the building behind, or some of the street props. I am very careful when laying down stops for this reason.

I'm afraid not. The price is already reduced to 60 if I only place it at the other side of the metro entrance.
