It’s taken a long 12 years to get the rail project to this point. First, it’s way overdue. Second, it’s way over budget. And last, it’s not even going to go to Waikiki. They started it from Kapolei and ran out of money so it won’t go to Waikiki anymore. What’s the purpose?
Wouldn’t it have been better to start the construction from Waikiki and build it towards Kapolei? Just connecting the airport to Waikiki would have been a lot better. The rail is going to open this month and it will only operate from Kapolei to the Civic Center Station. Where is that? And will it even connect to Ala Moana sometime in the future? 
Every time I passed by the construction for the past 12 years, I always thought to myself “They should have hired a Japanese company to build this. Then it would be done in 2 years. I’ve seen how the Japanese built infrastructure and this would have been very simple for them.”
And OMG, one thing they forgot to tell us was, “there are NO restrooms in any of the stations!!! Where are you supposed to pee???”
