Oh, I remember all right.  But do you remember when this was first put out to bid?  It was during an economic tough time period so prices were competitive.  Sadly, idiots had to delay the project  and as a result guess what happened? Price has increased.  Surprise surprise.   Thanks people who are against rail.  Enjoy your gridlock.  

And you are right, the train is suppose to go to the UH and Waikiki.  Someday, it will probably will but sadly long after I have left this existence.  

There is no doubt the route could be better.  My brother scratches his head on why the  hell it is going down Nimitz instead of just about any other st.  But as he says, Hawaii, America's own third world country.  Sadly we tend to be.
