Let's face it, there was really no real comprehensive study proving it's worth or demise from the beginning.  It is a project to fulfill Mufi's debt to unions.

The problem facing the west side traffic issue is not only caused by the residents of the west side.  There are a bunch of cars coming from the Mililani, Wahiawa, Pearl City, Aiea and other points other than the west side.  BUT, there are no feeder lines from those areas, no parking facilities for those who must drive to the rail line, etc. to make the rail more convenient that driving their own cars.

The rail will be a burden on Oahu residents for the next 100 years...no doubt about it.

Maybe our illustrious Mayor should abandon the project and stop it where it is now.  What is left standing will always remind Oahu residents of the incompetence of the people they put in office just because they are "whatever" with no substance but to "look out for themselves" never mind the people who elected them.
