The train look small and design looks like the bus lol. Lame
This gotta be the most hated project ever in the history of Hawaii.
Y’all should’ve hired engineers from Japan, they could’ve finished years ago with half the budget.
Po’hoe !! 😆
Po’hoe
They should house all the homeless up there pitch their tents and hang their clothes let’s show the world what Hawaii is really about letsgobrandon
Just turn it in to a party train from Kapolei to Aloha Stadium and back. Make some bucks since nobody will ride that thing.
shoulda just turned it into the h4 highway. Just get rid of da tracks and trains and build one road on it. da stations so ugly that it looks like it's from a 3rd world nation or something. At least da homeless get one hotel.
Smartest thing they did is to shorten this money pit. I couldn't see me or anyone else paying more for that garbage.
This reminds me of the monorail episode on the simpsons
Made for tourist. Not our trraffic problems. Build more over head freeway!
Hello everyone it costs too much. Why don't all the politicians and rail supporters with the other cronies pay the extra 2 billion dollars to get the 2 last stations done. As for those who say it's so useful in Asia well I live in Osaka and catch the train here on weekdays for over an hour 1 way. I can vouch that it sucks the living soul right out of you compared to the freedom of driving. Plus they got the land for the tracks and stations bought decades if not hundreds of years ago. Plus they would not have been let people get scammed by the developers and politicians. Plus it's expensive if you buy the monthly pass. It's priced out from station to station is usually over $150 a month. If go to a different stations you pay that separately. It's crowded often you have to stand for an hour in my case. The whining your doing about not making it to Ala Moana it outrageous since you don't even live near the rail to even use it. Statistically 90% or more of the population of the island doesn't live near it but if they even do they don't work anywhere near the other end of it. It's too slow 18 stations in 18 miles estimate a 1 min per station there is no way you from 1 end to the other in an hour No drivers mean more crime. I was groped in Japan by a guy once in rush hour I can't imagine all the potential crimes that will take place on it. And if you think I am just blowing off steam and should not be on your case so hard. I ran for state office in 2010, 2012, & 2014 against rail knowing it was exactly the boondoggle that it has become. The price tag of it and the Dems policies are why I and countless others can't live in my and their own hometown.
Dey should have started on each end an meet in da middle. Oh wait, wen dey meet, one side going be higher den da otta side like wen dey wen build da freeway to da airport.
Ummm yeah, four years ago, right?
CORRUPTION AT DA MAX. PROSECUTE HART AND EVERYONE INVOLVED!
Are they gonna import workers from the mainland?
How do they need more funding lol it was 10 billion
The train looks straight from the early 2000s lol
$9 Billion amusement ride for the homeless and kids
Imagine what $9 billion could have bought and improved in the C&C of Honolulu or even the entire STATE.
This is the very reason it was built, to go all the way through up yo Alamoana
“ASSUMING no issues”… hahaha. Too funny. Clowns.
Move this kind of stuff to the private sector with government subsidies and support. It’ll be better for the masses. Not just corrupt politicians.
Please build Ala moana park station
You know what would have been wise to do?… Build a light rail. Why autonomous? Good luck ever getting funding for any future transportation projects
Hmmm.
What a waste of money!!! It's an Island, not the mainland. All that money should have gone to the people of Hawaii.
The knew that 2 years ago…
I hope the subway will be opened soon
Or ala moana station
Sounds like the entire state could of got a home built or remodeled for that price sheesh
Looks like Hawaii builds at the same pace and cost of Californian
This is crazy that its not pau yet
Please build ala moana station dad , mom and I go to the airport to go trip
$650mil mile. AL Capone would be proud
You better hurry the build 21 station must be on time work to be done we need more people to work help build the track railway
ASAP.
April fools
9 Billion $$ is a lot of money. Yes.
But the Kamehameha Schools endowment is about 14.7 Billion $$,
and every year it gets higher, and higher, and higher, . . . . . .
If the State would make some wise investments like Kam School, it could be an ever-growing source of $$.
Lies! They said it would be finished in 2021
Should've rebuilt the Oahu Railway to Kahuku, instead.
I lived here in 2015-16 and that fact that this rail is not finished AND isn’t going to Ala Moana is baffling to me! The people of Oahu were sold a pipe dream and it’s sad to see. SMDH
Billions of dollars wasted and now they might not even fund the project further 😂the people of Hawaii have been scammed by their politicians
Damn… They're still building that rail?!
They're cutting out Ala Moana?! Wasn't that half the reason for the rail?
Getting people who work at the Ala Moana mall or in Waiks in and out from the west without jamming up the freeways?
Sad that this essential project was bungled so badly. I have lots of criticisms for its design and the moronic choice to not start with the sections in Honolulu’s core, but the fact is Honolulu is a very good fit for a metro system for a number of reasons. I suspect, once the thing operates for a few years, people will begin forgetting the headaches and start clamoring for extensions.
That male newscasters hair could survive a category 5 hurricane!!!
“We’re getting it back on track”
So its going to be Finished when im 100?
🤣 ETA: 4023!!! 🤑
What is the purpose of running the train all day empty save the money geeee
