H-3 is certainly a terrific option for anyone wanting to drive or needing to get to the Windward side, if they are driving from the Leeward coast, Pearl Harbor, or even Ala Moana; of course the reverse is also true, as it is a excellent option for those on the Windard side wanting or needing to get to Pearl Harbor, Pearl city, the Leeward coast or even Central O'ahu.

Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the rail project, which only serves the Ewa beach, Pearl city on thru to Down town Honolulu, which serves barely 10% of the islands burgeoning population, does not reduce traffic and whose cost continues to rise unabated.

Don't get me wrong, rail is an essential part of moving people from one point to another and could have been a boon to the local economy, had it been done right, with the right rail technology and a proper plan to construct it with appropriate financial oversight.  Unfortunately that did not happen as greed, corruption and financial infidelity happened  instead.
