There still is time to fully examine conversion of the existing guideway to magnetic levitation technology using Maglev 2000 techniques, and then complete the remainder as maglev-only. This can still be done within the previous budget estimate of $6.8 billion. With the new amount for collections through 2030 (i.e., about $9.2 billion), maglev will enable extensions eastward into Waikiki and to UH-Manoa and westward as far as Ko Olina. With all of the comments about criminal activity, it really would be criminal to ignore an examination of conversion to urban maglev.
