THANK YOU RAIL FOR YOUR SHADE EVERYDAY I DRIVE TO WORK AND GOING HOME.
-
Need more affordable apartments around the stations... better yet build apartments over the stations much like in Asia. Housing, Grocery Store and rail should be one big complex...
-
Yep, empty trains. Can you change length of train from 4 to 2?
-
This was a mistake from the start. It would have been better to put the money into an epxanded bus service to the suburbs. It has to start early. Right now it starts too late for a lot of people to make it to work if they start at 5 or 6 am or get off work at 11:30 at night.

I was at a intersection during rush hour and saw one person sitting in the one of the carts on da rail and thought to myself what a joke
-
It’s interesting to see so many people that have gripes with rail when the people are the ones who voted to have rail in the first place, rather than the other option which was additional elevated freeway lanes above existing ones for a fraction of what rail was initially supposed to cost (but had vastly gone way over at this point).
-
I said this was stupid from the get go.
-
the current placement of the rail stations are part of the problem. should have made the rail stop at Pearlridge or Pearl Kai instead of down the road, same with Pearl Highlands station, no one wants to walk that distance plus risk their life crossing what is essentially a freeway on ramp to get to the shopping center. There should have had more opportunities for private investors to make food concessions or small businesses. at this point they maybe able to increase riders by opening the restrooms. hahaha
-
1 year? You mean 10 year in making you can’t start at opening date about the cost reason the delays of opening that plays major factor just pointing it out there because it’s an experience.. and no it’s not in black due other things and loans use for it still need pay off.
-
3,000 a day? Bullsh*t 3,000 a month is more like it.
-
Braddah says "It's paid for by the government..so it saves me alot of money". Braddah forget the money the government gets is from the people with taxes. No mo savings.
-
If no one is using it, they need to cut back to meet the low demand and save taxpayer money.
-
To expensive, 3.00 dollars not worth it.
-
Everything would be 100% ok if it went to Ala moana... How could they fck that up
-
🙏🤙
-
Its 1 million a year to keep it on. For the 3 riders per year lying ass politicians
-
I don't feel safe riding in the bus. The government never wake up and address that issue.
-
Make it more accessible to more places and you can increase your ridership
-
LMAO
-
“paid for by the government” How naïve can you be? The feds are paying for 15.5% IF they can complete it to the imaginary “civic center” for $10 billion. Tourists pay for 14 - 15% of the GET supplement and some of the TAT destined for rail, but the Oahu taxpayers will be paying for the majority of rail construction. A $10 billion system that costs $100 million a year to maintain on an island with less than 1 million residents is sheer insanity.
