Who has been profiting from billions of dollars spent? Civil Beat recently published a piece talking about a straight forward option of stopping rail at Middle street and creating an express bus Depo and system for So much cheaper than this debacle. 

Why an overhead rail? Why so many stops planned between Middle street and Ala Moana? Graft? Special interest? Who owns the real estate around those stops and all the land that the tracks twist and turn to cross? 

Honestly, think of the billions of dollars that could do so much good in our state, or if not those ear marked for transportation then all the taxes and bonds or whatever tied up now and way out in our future all to maintain and manage it. I am an every day citizen but I feel we have been smoked.
