The real question is how many transit riders are heading for Ala Moana as their final destination.  HART has no data.  Probably a few thousand.  Next comes the transit riders that have Waikiki as their destination.  They will transfer to a bus on Kona St.  If this group transfers to a bus at Middle St., do they get to work in less time or more time?  The answer is in the city's bus plan and the city's willingness to create express buses etc.  Next are the transit riders that are heading for work at Kapiolani Community College, Kaimuki, Chaminade/St. Louis, UH, MidPac, Punahou, and our State Capitol area including Queens hospital. Most  will also transfer to a bus on Kona St. (some may get off sooner and walk).  If this group transfers to a bus at Middle St., will they get to work in less time or more time? If the city implements their bus plan and forces over 30,000 bus riders to transfer to rail, all of these riders will still use Middle St.
