Roy Kamisato claims that rail would reduce traffic.  However, it would reduce traffic by such a small amount that, due to the natural increase in the number of cars on Oahu, traffic would be worse after rail is built than before construction started.  What's worse is that the rail project facilitated the approval of the Hoopili project, which is slated to include more than 10,000 homes in West Oahu.  Realistically, however, most of the people living in those homes who work downtown or in other parts of the primary urban core will take their cars to work, not the train.  Rail is creating more traffic, not reducing it.
