Agree, even after spending over $20 BILLION to get the train kind of working and regular, A City Express! bus that takes Ewa Beach and Kapolei commuters DIRECTLY to UH Manoa and Waikiki will take about 1/2 the time or less than a bus/train/bus commuter solution.  And their solution is to spend $10 BILLION more to try to go from Ala Moana to UH or from Hoopili to Ewa Beach and Kapolei?  Anyone who drives on Kapiolani or University Ave and has seen the elevated rail track such as what is front of Sears Pearlridge knows that dang thing will NOT fit without major removal/relocation of water, sewage, gas, electrical and home/condos to make that thing fit.  Mean while, they have almost perfected driverless cars/buses and the technology in super lightweight but strong Bus frames with improvements in battery technology means super efficient, buses are just about to become mainstream and Oahu can catch that trend whereas the train they are building will be unreliable and ALREADY OBSOLETE
