You want traffic nightmares - wait until that rail construction gets close to downtown - it will be mighty painful for a long time and it is already hard at the end of the day to leave downtown.

That's what I was saying.

Haven't been to town for a while, I didn't realize the pillars and stuff were going in. The farthest I saw was HomeDepot area in PC.
Now that they are withdrawing traffic has improved some Ewa/Waipahu.
The pillars are also going in down Kam Hwy by the Aloha Stadium heading toward the Arizona Memorial.
And digging the holes to put the pillars in, down the street from my Townhouse near Pearl Ridge, on Kam Hwy. Noisy all night long, Sunday through Thursday night, for the folks who live closer to Kam Hwy than i do!! Feel sorry for them.
Glad to hear its getting a little better in Eva now that there are finishing up there!
Honestly, traffic here is nothing compared to other cities I've lived in. I used to sit in traffic for 3hrs on sunday nights in Chicago; Seattle was possibly worse. In Minneapolis it used to take me 70mins to get six exits on the hwy not to mention the 40mins it took to get to that point. In Wilmington, NC the only way to get anywhere was two worse versions of the current Kam hwy here; I could not turn left out of my parking lot for 19 hours a day. Been here for over 3 years and still don't see what everyone complains about.

But how long, distance wise, was your commute? Ex. if it takes someone 1.5 hours to commute 15 miles from Ewa Beach to downtown, you have to compare a 15 mile commute in those other cities, not a longer commute.
I lived up in the valley on Likelike, and my BF at the time wanted a good liquor store so he went to Ward around 6:30pm on a week night. It took him an hour and a half because of traffic. When we looked up the miles it was 11 miles round trip.

Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities. Stunning skyline. Great public transportation network. Oahu can learn from Hong Kong how to build up rather than the current low rise massive sprawl.
Hawaii has the worst traffic because some of the people here don't know how to properly merge onto the freeway, or are texting / looking at their phones while driving. I even drive to town for work in the early morning, and the slowpokes who are holding up the line are talking on their phone or see wahines putting on their make-ups while driving.
Then if you looked at my other thread, there are clue-less lollygagger/slow-pokes who don't know that the left lane of the highway is for faster traffic. Hence they tend to hold up traffic on the highways such as Pali, Likelike or either of the major freeways here on Oahu.
