JUST SAYING....... When the Environmental Impact Study was released, journalist could have questioned flawed logic that justified rail.  In Chapter 1 of the EIS it stipulated that a survey of residents in the rail corridor identified traffic congestion during the commute period as the biggest concern. In justifying rail the EIS stipulated that by 2-1 margin residents responded that improving transit was more important than building more roadways.  But such logic was flawed and rigged for rail.  First of all most commuters preferred traffic congestion reduction - not transit. Second of all, traffic congestion reduction without building more roads was already being introduced - on the highway and on the streets in 2005 - the 5th year of the 21st century.  And the state DOT at that time already had a Highways Modernization Plan: Oahu Projects. Until today, we have yet to hear of Traffic Congestion Reduction from the city DTS and state DOT.
