The Disaster in our Bus System

I live in Nanakuli in a Senior Apartment building. We get free newspapers but no free transportation to town and nobody complains about that. However?

 Who said? "I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize."

What the Department Of Transportation does not know, with all their surveys, and I have been asked the most irrelevant questions, is the real story from the present users. But of course that is not what they are interested in. Throughout the world the objective is to get more people off their cars and onto public transportation. Not Honolulu, you can see the horrible examples all over the place. Old ladies riding the "C" bus and standing from Waianae to town. That's Criminal!

I go to town to make some errands. On the way back I get the #93 express at 3:00 PM at the Alapai Transit Center. It gets on the freeway at Vineyard and Palama and, like magic, I am sitting down and that is what makes it comfortable, I am home by 4:00 PM. There is no way in the world, in a million years that the rail will beat that.

The only negative is that too many good public transportation people get on board in town and it is standing room only, all the way to Honokai Hale. Just change to "tandem buses" and add two more per day, would get a lot more people off the freeways and it would help a lot of people get to the Waianae Coast a little more "comfortable." Yes, I know, the Department of Transportation does not have that "word" in their terminologies.

The same thing can be applied to the #92 express going to Makakilo and the #91 going to Ewa Beach. With an additional four more "C" buses every day,  and with the #40 bus also with "tandem buses" each way, the rail is "superfluous, not needed," except for the ones that were to make the Big Big Buck$. You don't have to go to a special station costing billions and billions of dollars. You just get the bus right around the corner where  you always got it. Dumb Dodos, use your head, Red.

"May Each Day"   ...   Andy Williams

With Kmart, Walmart and Target along with others in Kapolei, "I can be home in 20 minutes" Now if we had more industrial parks where we could work instead of being forced to work downtown, "I  coulda been home in 20 minutes." There are people in Waianae that live in Paradise because they live and work in Waianae. Make a little less money but they can be home in 20 minutes. Big Big Difference. The rail is needed by the Big Big Buck$ profiteers, not by the people and specially not the ones that use Public Transportation. They are the ones that know, not the big shots in their ivory towers.
