You are being ridiculous. I am offering you an alternative to driving. You are not offering an alternative to going to the hospital. Not the same thing. Duh to you too.
More transit = Less driving = less deaths and injuries

I totally support "How many die's" demand to CLOSE ALL HIGHWAYS TODAY TO ELIMINATE FURTHER DEATHS.

Duh. You are not offering anything. You are just a heckler who persistently just posts the statistics on fatalities.

Less driving? Duh. "Less Driving" as your solution to traffic gridlock? Duh. Some people are really an idiot. I am not saying you are an idiot. But some people just are idiots.

Higher gasoline taxes + higher registration taxes and fees = more vehicles not being registered = more transit riders = less driving the roads = less death and inuries = less madd mothers = smaller deficits = better roads = speedier traffic = shorter commute times = more people back on the road = more drivers killed, the more things change the more they remain the same.

Then do nothing.

I wrote this proven fact:

More transit = Less driving = less deaths and injuries

and you managed to miss the "more transit" part - you must be heavily blindfolded. You proved that your level of comprehension is awful. How can you accuse me of "not offering anything"?

Repeat, I offer MORE TRANSIT.

rail will be dangerous as well.

Wrong. You do not offer anything by posting stats on highway fatalities. In fact what you were actually offering is LESS DRIVING which is a fictional situation. Duh.

The State has lined up two congestion relief projects which would make the Bus Express as the alternative to sitting in traffic NOT Rail.

Duh. In your dreams "More transit - less driving". That's pure fiction straight from creative imagination.

Got lots of lawyers standing by Mr Mayor? The lawsuits will flow once the EIS is approved.....

Yes, ten days ago, the Mayor announced that he wishes to retain Carlsmith Ball LLP as legal counsel.

It takes one to know one!

if you are on the bus, you are literally not driving. if you were so smart, the entire economy is based on statistics. such as if a road or intersection needs a traffic light.

where do you work anyways? toys'r'us? stop playing videogames and lego worlds, reality doesn't work that way!

and get on the bus, that thing is a hell hole with nauseating homeless people and offensive, rude, loud imbeciles. hopefully the rail can weed those idiots like you out! stay on the bus, i'm taking the rail.

but i live in Hawaii-kai so i'll just continue driving into town. my parking spot is only $150 a month, but i'll use the rail to have fun on that side, hey-yo!!

rail will be just as smelly as buses

Rail doesn't reach Hawaii Kai. Duh. And if you are so enamored with HMD then do what HMD wants you to do. Duh. Only idiots do not remember nor know that Rail was intended for BUS riders so that an idiot who won't ride the bus because of passengers there definitely would be foolish to ride the train where the very same passengers the idiot did not want to be near. Duh.

You sure say "Duh" quite often, you must really be mentally challenged. Do you have a propellor hat too? You wear a fanny pack and a helmet too!

If you had the reading comprehension of a 6 year old, you would've seen that I already stated that I live in Hawaii-kai and drive into work every day on our previous topic posts.

And you are sadly and unfortunately mistaken. The rail is not just for bus riders, as I see it, as well as the thousands of people that voted for it, it is for ANYONE who wants to ride it.

You know it's only a few of you anti-rail people against the majority voting population who voted for the rail. If the anti-rail campaign had any bearing, truth or influence, it would've been voted down, so you can argue all you want. The voters have said their voice and they want the rail. What YOU want and what YOU get are two mutually exclusive things!

Next time you want to go against the voting majority, why don't you have more produce more effective studies and debates. Repeating "duh" and reiterating garbage from loonies doesn't make your arguement any more credible than you think it does.

Go rail! haha!

Someone said 200 TRANSIT buses on Kam and Nimitz Flyovers will eliminate H-1 bottlenecks. The $6 Billion rail transit will NOT eliminate bottlenecks and will therefore require more cars on the highways. So your "Rail Transit" solution is a non-solution. What's your second solution?

This should be called the "Railroad" project.

Riding trains is a great way to travel.

My nephews loved to ride the Chicago EL (elevated). We'd start at the train terminal station at Kedzie and Lawrence. The train would slowly proceed on ground level until after it hits the Rockford station Then the train begins a slow climb to the elevated train station at Western. From there we'd go above the roof tops through the city to downtown Loop in downtown Chicago. Then go around the Loop and back to the Kedzie terminal train station.

But we're not talking here about a train for kids to ride here in Oahu but for trains to carry people who formerly rode the bus to go to downtown Honolulu.

Now if you, who is "More idiotic than idiots" will ride the train - it is only because you believe that the train will bring you faster to your destination instead of the bus that you believe will be stuck in traffic.

Now, if your are not more idiotic than idiots you would have known by now that the State has lined up two congestion relief projects that would enable the Bus Express to reach Honolulu much faster than the train.

If you are not more idiotic than idiots you will begin to ride the Bus Express to downtown after the State's congestion relief project have been completed because the Bus Express would bring you to downtown much faster than the train that runs not only much slower than the Bus Express but also makes stops ever single mile.

True, the Chicago El was built as a kids' amusement ride. Really.
