Funded by the Federal Government? No wonder Gov. is BROKE. and the economy SUCKs. Fix the damn roads in Hawaii first!!! so many pot holes with Mickex Mouse patch jobs.
@sharkrage11 Lol... but the oil companies don't have a financial interest?? Do you work for an oil company??
Funding for rail will be supported by the federal government, decrease traffic, reduce air pollution, reduce global warming, take money away the oil companies, and reduce traffic fatalities. Plus, it simply is faster for consumers, rather than sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. Rail works very well in Japan, China, and Europe.
Hawaii is broke. Infrastructure is crumbling and outdated. We cannot even afford to have students in school for five days per week. The rail is great in theory, but is a terrible idea for Oahu. You build a city around mass transit. You do not build mass transit around a city. Especially a city that has no money.
The majority of people screaming pro rail have a financial interest. The unions and the contractors want the work. That does not make this project good for Oahu
this is a joke, a money pit. Why build something that will not help the traffic? People are still going to use their vehicles. The city and county can't take care of the roads and highways and now they are going to buid a rail system that no one can use until its completed. What a waste of time and money.
If the rail construction started in China town and worked it's way out to Kapolei then it could take cars off the roads from Kalihi to Pearl City and all points in between. This plan will take people off the road and benefit every driver down the road by making their commute less congested.
Instead the plan it to start in Kapolei and when the money runs out we will have a train from Kapolei to possibly salt lake which will help no one. The current plan is ass backward
The Phoenix system as of Feb 2010 has taken 11 million car trips off the roads! You are right. It also removed lots of smelly empty buses at the same time. Taking up space on the highways.
