Ridership? I work with people in Downtown Honolulu and they live in Makaha and I ask them if they look forward to rail - They tell me that they have no intention to use the rail as it will take them longer to get to downtown. They need to get the bus to the rail (or transfer to another bus to get to the station). Then make more than 15 stops at each station, then walk the rest of the way to the office on Bishop Street. You think Mililani people will take the rail? I talk to them too and get the same results as with the Makaha people. I live in Salt Lake and hove no need to use the rail unless they take the bus route away then I'll drive. Jman - the ridership numbers provided first my Mufi and now by Kirk are bloated in a big big way. The city has already admitted that it will not make a dent in our traffic woes but it give us a $10 billion option...The rosey rail picture just got exposed for what it is...a farce, a fake, a fantasy. It's already the largest mismanaged project in Hawaii.
