In Montreal they built the 67km REM in 5 years flat. The REM will operate 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, with departures every 2 min 30 during peak hours and every 5 min in off-peak hours. I love Honolulu but something stinks on this project.
I can't believe this rail project is still under construction. So embarrassing. The entire line should already be completed in full, including all the planned extensions. Visitors want to get from the Airport to Waikiki. IMO construction should have started from the Ala Moana side, where the demand is needed most.
One of the said benefits of the rail project was that it would make it easier to get to the Aloha stadium. Since it has taken so long to build not a single passenger will ever take the train to the stadium because the stadium is closed and will be demolished next year.
Construction of the Project’s first segment, from East Kapolei to Aloha Stadium, is completed. Comprehensive testing is currently being performed in this segment of the Project and anticipated to be turned over to the City’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS) by this year for operation. Construction of the second segment from Aloha Stadium, past the Airport to Middle Street, is nearly completed and expected to be turned over to DTS in 2025.

@@QuarioQuario54321 I think the date discussed at the last board meeting was about April or May (though subject to change). There's not much that could be opened faster than that, as everything to be opened is in about the same state, they're testing things like safety systems, the automatic train controls, and emergency service response procedures. Either that all works, and they can open the entire first section, or it's not working, and none of it can be opened until it is.
@@QuarioQuario54321 Completely wrong information. Japan's first elevated rail was built in 1910. There are fully automated, elevated systems currently active in Japan (e.g. 新交通ゆりかもめ - Yurikamome). As for the 3rd rail system, it's all over Japan via the subway system. Overhead was chosen for above ground due in many respects to safety concerns with ground-level electrocution hazards. Where do you get your info?

We need more funding to extend it to Ala Moana!
More money for the corrupt politicians to embezzle

In the US things take forever here. Remember all the delays with the H-3?
@@danielkelly2210 yup. all across the country construction goes over budget and takes longer than planned, it's not a hawaii issue
It should go West to Koolina
When will this start operating

@@HonoluluRailTransit When in this year? If I were in charge I'd break it up into more segments and open what's possible now.

Nice 14 years late and 6 billion over budget!
What other choice did they have?
@@QuarioQuario54321 They should have contracted engineers from Japan to build it. Seriously.
@@shin-ishikiri-no but Japan doesn’t really do elevated rail like this or third rail
Better than a highway
