The title photo has no relation to the video. Also, Hawaii is not “embarking”. The project started 15 years ago.

The first contract was written in 2005 and the .5% GET supplement has been collected since 2007.

It will take another 30 years for ‘possible’ completion. I was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it took Hawaiians 5 years to build a mile of the H1.

“Schindler Elevator Corporation announces that it has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to install and maintain 49 custom machine room-less (MRL) traction elevators and 23 Schindler 9700 transit escalators throughout the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) system's 21 stations. The 20-mile HART system will open its first phase in 2017 and is slated for completion in early 2019” schindler 11/21/2013 The elevators sound okay, but the escalators are going to be short, even with two fewer stations (19). Think about it. If you have two separate platforms on the outside of the tracks, ideally you would have four escalators per station. One going up and one going down for each platform. Instead they have planned (and I use the term very loosely) for ~1 per station? The fiasco continues.

It was a total disaster from the beginning. I was living on Oahu up till February of 2023 and it only made it to Aloha station with rides just beginning. Last I heard, the rail will stop short of the original plan to Ala Moana and now stop in Kakaako.

I think all rail projects are shit shows. The only one that will probably be ok is when we build one on Mars. I live in the DC area and we expanded our Metro to connect it to our major international airport (Dulles). They started it in 2008 and it didn’t actually finish until the end of 2022.

"Modern Amenities"...the stations don't have public bathrooms.

How do you say in Hawaiian “We spent over $10 billion on public transit but couldn’t find money for public bathrooms” Disneyland monorail cost million dollars per mile in 1959 or 10.5 million today. Las Vegas Monorail cost 650 million for 5 miles or 130 million per mile. HART cost billion per mile…….

48km/h - that's a JOKE :) While in Europe trains run on that kind of lines like 120km/h not to mention those 160, 200, 250 and more... US is 3rd world country and a kind of "special" kid in the class

Like pretty much anywhere in America, this public transportation project will not be successful. There won't be enough ridership. The only segment that will make sense is Honolulu airport to Waikiki.

To all you rail supporter, WAKE up!! This is the most expensive railway per capital in the world. Hardly anyone is riding it now. It is a huge money pit. It's double over budget way and behind schedule. By the time the rail get done, it most likely be 4x over budget. Current daily ridership doesn't even cover the cost of daily running the rail. The numbers done lie. Keep believing in the money pit.
