I originally supported the rail project.  I admit I was wrong. Very wrong. Elected officials hopefully will have the guts to abandon the project.  If an honest assessment is done, I'm sure that abandoning the project is the least expensive and most sensible alternative.  We already know that the train starting in East Kapolei doesn't serve the westside and going to Ala Moana doesn't reduce the heavy H1 traffic caused my UH and Waikiki.  We also know that, based on similar projects around the world, that traffic will not be reduced.  I'm afraid that the only thing that HART will accomplish is to allow developers and bought-off politicians to approve unchecked development. 
A lot of people will have to admit failure, but, if they do, the citizens of Oahu won't be paying for this white elephant for  generations.
