"...the rail project will be one of the Legislature’s most important economic stimulus and quality of life decisions in many generations."

Economic stimulus?  How many LOCAL jobs created?  I could care less about the economic stimulus our tax dollars provide mainland and foreign workers.

Quality of life?  As a lifelong westside public transit user, rail absolutely ruins the current award-winning public transit commute.  This is a fact, even with rail incomplete.  

My Mililani Express bus took 42 minutes this morning.  Direct, no transfers (similar to most on my bus).  Rail will double our commute times and add four stressful transfer points daily.  The rail leg alone will take the same amount of time as our entire commute due to the 21 stops.  Add the feeder bus wait and travel times and it is indisputable that rail will take significantly longer.  Making a PM contraflow would have ensured that no one would have rode rail.

If you want to advocate FOR us, support ending rail now.
