text: These two consider to use HART's numbers with no context. Imagine we are talking about a bridge in Waianae and you ask me, what percentage of the cars on Oahu will use this bridge daily? That is a dumb way to decide if the bridge is useful or not. While rail might reduce overall island trips by two percent, that factors in people riving from kahuku to laie, miles from rail. What matters is how much will rail reduce congestion along its route? The answer to that is about 15 percent, comparable to when UH is not in session.
