Unfortunately, this is a very shallow discussion devoid of a long-range vision.  Honolulu is building a system that will transition our communities from a dependence on cars to many modes and transit options.  An article presenting a snapshot today, before TOD communities are fully developed and people have the opportunity to choose between modes, housing locations, employment centers, shopping malls, etc. is overly simplistic and ignores the wisdom of investing in a new and different transportation system that will deliver commuters from Point A to Point B without the need to own a car.
