So you were ok, with the original cost estimate of $5.2 billion dollars to build rail?  How do you feel now, as you watch the cost of rail skyrocket to $8.6 Billion and on to over $10 billion, before it is all said and done?  Remember that cost estimate of 10 billion, does not include maintenance costs, ridership fee's and or anything else important, like executive salaries, employee wages....etc!  What is worse is that HART, has not settled on where the rail will end yet; will it end at the Middle street cut off, Aloha Stadium, Downtown Honolulu, or Ala Moana Center?  The closer that rail gets to downtown Honolulu, the higher the costs seem to rise accordingly and not all the land has been brought as yet!
