Pieces like this which say "someday technology will solve the transit problem better than what is being built now" is truly ringing hollow to those in a certain age group, like me, who were promised years ago that there would be a mass transit alternative on Oahu so that we would not have to worry about the increasing congestion that is occurring on this island - as predicted as far back as the 1970's. 
That age group was promised this, and in 1992 the bill to make it possible was killed in the City Council. That group, which makes up the majority of the workforce in today's Oahu, pay for that decision every-single-bloody-workday for those travelling on the H1 freeway from the West side. 
So you want to come now and say "forget what we promised, wait just a few more decades and we can have something even better without the "19th-century technology." 
Mr. Creagan, give that group, which includes me, something today (past due promise). Thank you.
