With all due respect, I am surprised that someone in your position apparently knows so little about the rail.  There are so many erroneous statements in your post it is impossible to address them all.

Your article states that less than 50% of the rail is complete.  Currently there is 10.8 miles of guideway completed (simple math says 54%).  Furthermore, the maintenance and storage facility is 99% complete.  Currently there are six trains at the M&S Facility being tested.  The rail project is definitely more than 50% complete.

Your article states the rail will probably cost 13-15 billion.  Do you have an estimate to backup that statement? We know the answer to that is No.  You are just repeating what the anti-rail people are broadcasting. 

Please see my previous comment on the true expected cost of the final elevated segment from Middle St. to Al Moana.
