Oahu - West Blog

This blog now breaking out of the lower pack where it has been in the 20s. The Christmas season was one reason, and the bus situation that did not allow me more access to the dance functions too. With reorganization to include Aliamanu dancing, it is pretty definite, it will go up in hits.

 

"We haven’t failed. We’ve just found 1000 ways that won’t work."

Then with a couple of good steady Information and Photo contributors it will solidify in the sixties. One Guest Author and it would go over 100 average hits per day. A couple more and for sure it could go independent. That is my aim for all of them except my personal blog which seems to be shaping up as Dancing in the Dark, helping all the other blogs.

I was also waiting for the next social club to arise. But some have already told me there will be none as less people will be moving east because of the rail. We have already lost one lady in our Senior Apartments, she moved to Kaneohe. So few buses, packed to the gills, some have two wheelchairs already in the bus, they cannot take another. "Wait for the next bus, in one hour." Auwe ! The people in the Ivory Towers, "What problem? We don't see a problem." They have 97 articulated buses. Wow, the case solved. Ha Ha! Old ladies riding standing up Waianae to downtown. Hey, Hey, Hey! That's Criminal! Ivory Towers couldn't care less, they have their own stats.

 

 With the articulated bus in 60% of the fleet, five times the efficiency and at one tenth the

cost of the rail. So who needs the rail? Yeah, right. But it's the bread, Fred.

The Caldwell administration couldn't care less. He is already screwing up some things at Honolulu Hale. And the rest of us are stuck with him and Boylan too. Our west coast representatives are already in the pockets of the Rail, so we are losing there too. But there is some hope. "Honolulu Traffic" the organization is leading the way. Let us all wish them luck. They may be able to stop the rail yet.

For the Waianae Coast one of the best buses scheduled is the #93 bus. I can get it 3:00 pm at the Alapai Transit Center and be home in Nanakuli before 4:00 pm. The rail ain't gonna beat that in a million years. And I get off right around the corner from where I live. I don't need a rail station even if the parking fees will be less than $200 per month. But the Caldwell rail hatchmen will kill that route too. Maybe I will have to move to the East too.
