The transport authority instead estimates that the development, which could
lead to heavier congestion on London's roads, buses and trains, will have a
£18.4bn price tag.

Is that figure net or gross of the fares the extra passengers will be
paying?

It's a capital cost, not an operating cost. And most road users don't pay
fares. Even many bus users don't pay fares (ie, they have bus passes).
