What other options would you suggest to mitigate traffic on Oahu? Had it been done ages ago when the city was first laid out, it wouldn't be such a mess now. There's not enough room for all the cars, not sure how to get transportation for the folks.

I love people who complain, but offer no alternative solutions.

The rail is going to take 2% of cars off the road. One thing is certain The Rail will Fail.

On the bright side traffic isnt that bad when you compare it to some asian countries.

If you really want less traffic make it more costly to drive. Theres your solution.

I saw some of the original rail line on Oahu last weekend. It used to run from downtown all the way out to Waianae, Ka'ena point (sorry birds), and then to Haleiwa. I even saw an actual train running in Ko'olina, but I kinda doubt the tourists could take it all the way downtown these days. Such a shame it wasn't preserved.

I support rail in Honolulu 100%. The density makes it a no brainer. Just wish they could manage the project fiscally--it's no better in HI than in SF or Boston.

OK. So you support rail. If you lived on Oahu, how much would you be willing to pay out of your own pocket for its construction (construction ONLY, not operating costs)? Assuming you took in no more and no less than the typical median income family on Oahu, what would you be willing to pay in AFTER TAX earnings?

A) $1,000
B) $2,000
C) $5,000
D) $7,500
E) $10,000

I ask because most people just love the concept of rail. But when they are asked to open their wallets, they sing another tune.

So as a 100% supporter, how much of your hard-earned after-tax earnings would you be willing to contribute to the construction of Oahu's rail system?

Oahu population is spread out. Many will have to drive or catch the bus just to get to a rail station. Not gonna happen.

it would be pretty sweet if they had a high end metro system on Oahu. can you imagine being able to get almost anywhere on the island by a subway system?
