a) cost per mile yes, but the distances are much greater.
b) you still have to go through a tunnel to get into DC. If you're going from Vienna to Ballston, the fare is still pretty cheap.

i'd assume that the tunnel from rosslyn to foggy bottom was probably pretty expensive. given the depth of the tunnel at that point due to the need to go under the potomac and the fact that it is over a mile between those two stations, it had to be one of the most expensive streches of metro to build. the same would hold true for the section of the green line that goes under the anacostia river. underwater tunnels tend to be most expensive of all.
