Pukele, the H-1 freeway on average moves 5,000 vehicles per hour into Urban Honolulu during the peak AM hour at the Middle St merge (across 4 lanes of traffic)., representing about 6,000-7,000 people.  I have all the road count numbers from HDOT and would be happy to send it to you if you're interested.  Meanwhile, our rail system is scheduled to operate 12 train sets per hour per direction after the system opens, each with the capacity for up to 800 passengers (9,600 people). But this doesn't reflect the potential ridership capacity of the system. The rail line is designed to be able to run up to 40 train sets/hr per direction, moving up to 32,000 people per hour per direction.  This is 5 times the capacity of the entire H-1 freeway. Yes, the rail system we're building is very high-capacity.
