Too many people are simply misguided on rail.   It is not a transportation or traffic solution.   Then mayor Hanneman said it was an "option".   And it was presented as a 3 billion dollar Kapolei to UH Manoa track.   It has now morphed into 8.6 billion to go from "near" Kapolei to Middle street and maybe eventully to Ala Moana and nobody can tell us the cost to reach Ala Moana.

The GET will likely become permanent and still not be enough.   Then when running, the rail will have a bill for 20 million dollars a month or more, to operate and maintain the rail.

And the real kicker, west siders may end up with a longer commute because now they will no longer have express bus service, but will have to make transfers from bus to rail and possibly back to bus and repeat to get home.
