Political Discussion / I demand a new audit!!!
« on: March 04, 2025, 12:36:23 AM »
The Honolulu Rail has fallen short of ridership goals, an audit said.
I am shocked. Shocked, I say! This can't be.
Among other factors, implementation with other transportation options were part of the problem. Essentially, it was faster to commute by Bus or car. 
Wait, wasn't implementation of other transportation options the key to making this system work?
And what's this about safety around the terminals being a concern? Nonsense! Hawaii is a safe, friendly, and crime free (and soon gun-free) State!

Maybe because the Rail is still unfinished? Maybe if we pour billions more into finishing it, rivaling or equaling the amount of money we give Ukraine, things will improve?
Yeah. That's it. Throw billions more into it (destroying businesses along the way), finish it, and the system will be the savior of mass transit.
Meanwhile, the city will be looking into the current issue of ridership decline. Probably contract an independent company to investigate and make recommendations. What's another couple of million dollars. We gotta do this right.
Right? LOL.
