Kira - You are dead wrong about bus riders not owning cars.  Regardless, less assume you were correct, does that give pro-railers and HART the right to double the commute of public transit users with rail because they have no other option?  Hawaii is spending $10b to worsen the commute of current public transit users.  If you let us keep our westside Express buses, absolutely no one would ride rail.  Even with all the traffic this morning with the accident, it took a little more than 50 min. to get to downtown via Mililani Express.  That's nearly half of the projected AM rail commute.
