@@jdmans if "it isn't going anywhere" then I guess the entire line probably wouldn't exist today. Rail transit is the reason why so many developed countries have much higher standard of living than in the US because it opens up a lot of opportunities for EVERYONE (not just the rich or the privileged) to travel. It also creates less traffic jams and pollution - if you lived in NYC or any of the major cities I think you will know what I mean. America has stuck to a pro-car transportation network for the most of the last 80 years since the interstate highway system was built in the 1950s, and trust me, it's not what the future of transportation in the US should be
@@captainbroady Hello, you have precisely zero clue what you're talking about. The vast majority of public transportation is wildly less environmentally friendly than the average car. The reason being is that nobody uses it. Your example of NYC is an exception because of the land usage they have in that city. Oahu is nothing like it so comparing the two is absolutely insane. Also, this is a low capacity light rail that they spent over 100 thousand dollars per linear foot on and right now is running at over 50 dollars per ticket in operating cost not including the financing of the capital investment. There is zero evidence that ridership will be enough to have any effect on traffic because it's completely inaccessible to where people live. Not only that, but the transit oriented development that they're putting up in Kapolei is not even dense, and is barely accessible to the stations. Due to the fact that this is not usable by the vast majority of the population, this is one of the most environmentally destructive pieces of infrastructure ever put in Hawaii and someone should be sent to jail for duping the population into voting for it and for the massive cost and time overruns. If they wanted to put in a rail, they should have done it where people actually live and can get to the stations conveniently. This could mean a track that runs from the middle of chinatown, downtown, kakaaka, ala moana, down waikiki, and looping up to UH and around Makiki back down to Ala Moana. They could have even put a track up one of the valleys like Palolo and upzoned it for higher density. This could have been done in 5 years and people could have immediately used it to relieve city traffic. Inner city trains are the most reliable train networks because they're accessible. A stupid commuter train like this one is basically useless now. I'm unbelievably amazed how fooled people get when they hear the phrase "public transportation". There are a lot of things that must come together for a transit system to work and this one has so many holes missing that by the time they realize it, they'll need to decide whether to add massive repairs in a couple decades to tear it down due to the fact it's running with almost not ridership and at massive deficits. This will poison the minds even further on public transit and this project will set the US even further back.

I (from here in Wisconsin) have always considered Honolulu to be a 'natural' place for a heavy-rail transit system, it's a compact city that is strung out in a very limited amount of available space. It should be especially popular with those who are tired of fighting the traffic on I-H1
What excites me is that people will see the automated system, open gangways and the platform screen doors and will hopefully encourage other systems in their area to adopt the same. Because in terms of hardware the system is no short of perfect. But in terms of service and alignment it could use some improvement. Good job Honolulu. Better late than never. Now get Phases 2 and 3 done!!
@@portcybertryx222 don’t rely on second hand info. The system is the most modern I have ridden and I have ridden in London, Paris, Prague, Barcelona, Lisbon, Vancouver and probably a few more cities.

It was ridiculous to have such a small parking area at the stadium available! Why wasnt the stadium open/available for everyone to park in? Paid my $2 for the HOLO card and the $3 min recharge!

All islands paid additional taxes for decades on our yearly vehicle registration for this rail system. There is no end in site for this as now they're calling it rail system maintenance.
American PT planning is horrendous. $10 billion for a sky rail that currently doesn’t run into CBD. A light rail system with some grade separation would be so much better for a city such as Honolulu. And when I mean light rail I don’t mean the shocking small street car systems of many American cities but high capacity light rail system with own right of way such as the one in Sydney.
For real and honestly city planning as a whole. I’m from Kansas and it’s really sad how much money is wasted on horrible infrastructure. My city loves to build “bike boulevards” that is literally just paint that says share the road and gives no dedicated right of way for bikes. A couple years ago they spent $19.5 million on a brand new police station, but this year they had to close 2 schools in low income areas due to a $3.2 million budget deficit. These were schools were also newly renovated.
I agree they should've served the downtown center first, but I disagree about the mode, a Vancouver Skytrain-like system will allow for. av=beautiful view and I wouldn't be surprised if the train became its own tourist attraction.
