Comment: "Stopping the project at the Downtown Station near the Aloha Tower would eliminate seven stations and leave no money for contingencies, according to the plan. It would cut ridership by 60 percent and require a supplemental environmental impact statement, leading to further delays and possible litigation."  Ok stupid question time again, how do you cut ridership figures by 60% when all the City and HART have are 'projected ridership numbers" and no hard facts to base these statistical figures on?  

Many of the stat's and figures produced by the City and HART have proven to be a bit unreliable, as they are "projected or phantom numbers" with little real world applicability and are off by more than a small margin of error!  

So instead of creating a "Plan B" lets just jump to plan C, fire the HART board and get some actual rail engineers to sit down with and crunch the numbers with, so that Honolulu will not end up wiht a total lemon of a Transit Rail system?
