sterling you are really showing your lack of depth in thinking.  there will continue to be buses for areas outside of the rail route.  so a person in Kailua, Hawaii kai, north shore will be able to ride the bus.  the bus schedule around the rail route will be change to focus on using buses to bring passengers to the rail stations.  I think you should refrain from defending your shallow arguments, the more you do the more you put your feet in your mouth.  more people are questioning your facts and conclusions than katelynn's commentary.  she seems more perceptive and smart and can think clearly.
