Everything you are saying Lawlor is bogus and not the reality of life that we all know in West Oahu. You worked for the City TOD for 5 years and now using Blue Planet as a front for pushing TOD.
.
There has always been plenty of room to expand bus service but was intentionally choked by Hannemann, Carliar and now Caldwell. I rode the bus every day and got from Ewa Beach to downtown in 45 minutes.- without changing seats or standing in three transit mode changes which will make the commute 1 hour and 30 minutes minimum.
.
The fact is the entire transit industry is going through a major disruptive technology change to Smart electric vehicles and everything you have based your schemes on is going up in smoke.
.
The same thing is happening in the brick and mortar retail market. Everyone is going out of business because buying stuff has totally changed in just a few years. Nothing you are saying is based upon reality and rapidly changing demographics. Rail and TOD is OUTDATED by technology.
