We Lost (plural)

Every user of the disaster referred to as public transportation on Oahu knows that we do not need rail. But we do need buses, desperately and right now. The present administration of Honolulu does not have a clue. They have been paid to have eyes only for a useless rail that may be in use ten years from now, and the people be damned.

 So many users were waiting for this in vain.

Everyone was invited to an island wide Town Hall Meeting in Ewa Beach regarding The Bus cuts. As the months ticked by, the "public" (cattle?) who use our (once famous and world renowned) The Bus system, realized that it is crumbling to the stress of a failed public transportation system thanks to The Bus cuts. And the buck shall not be passed.

"Dollars and Sense do not always travel together."

Mayor Carlisle refused to assist the public by opening Bill 14 to allow emergency funding for unanticipated circumstances. The Mayor and his administration, Department of Transportation (DTS) Director Wayne Yoshioka, and Oahu Transit Services Director Roger Morton all received invitations to come and address the community regarding The Bus cuts and all declined.

New Chinese bus seating more than 100 passengers, with "extra leg room."

They are 21st century people, not treating passengers like cattle, (Honolulu.)

The office of Councilman Berg "One good man" requested they send a subordinate in their place to represent them but they also declined to send a single person from their offices to speak to the public about The Bus cuts. How about that? Instead the Town Hall Meeting focused on bringing light and documentation to the concerns, effects and testimony of the citizens affected by The Bus cuts.

We must fight on and replace some with Persons that are for the people not for the big bucks. And we can replace the "cattle" cars, with Public Transportation worthy of all our citizens who are human beings. The liars will eventually be revealed and Caldwell has to take the blame.

Pub's Side Note: None of our representatives on the Waianae Coast have a clue to this either. We must continue to get together and give the users of Public Transportation what they need and not what the ivory towers think they need. And right now, at this very moment, the people need buses desperately. Ain't nobody in our city government worried about that?
