I agree that Skyline is Hawaii's most hated construction project, as it's the most expensive in our state's history and is both behind schedule and over budget. But I think it's an exaggeration to say the people of Hawaii hate it, which implies almost everyone here is against it. In fact the population is split roughly 50-50 for and against, between people who understand the long-term need for the project and those who are intensely frustrated at the delays and cost overruns. Having said that, I think your conclusion is right on. Skyline is here to stay and is actually well designed and operated by both national and international standards. The rider experience is good. The big problem is that the currently open segment doesn't effectively serve commuters, and won't until the system is completed all the way to downtown (and hopefully onward to Ala Moana). Ridership should increase somewhat next year when service reaches Middle Street, but the reality is that we won't be able to fully judge whether Skyline was worth the investment until it's done.

Agreed. Like many new things, there’s a bit of getting used to. The H3 I heard also had many doubters. But as windward resident, it’s one of the most useful highways on the island in my opinion.
@gsn7943 күн бұрын
@@GodwinIsaac The feds paid for 90% of the H3, or $1.17 billion out of the $1.3 billion construction cost because it’s usable by military equipment between military bases. The current cost “estimate” for the shortened rail route is $9.933 billion, per hart. According to hart’s 6/3/2022 “recovery” plan, section 3.1,j) “Overall, 17 percent of the currently forecast Project funding is from federal sources (the FFGA funds and the FY 2021 grant) while 83 percent is provided by local funding, with GET being the predominant source of local funding (66 percent of total funding).” The Oahu taxpayers share will be ~$8.3 billion, and it’s currently 11 years behind schedule. In their 6/3/2022 “recovery” plan, hart estimates the final 1.2 miles to Ala Moana will cost $1.367 billion, but no funding exits for it.

47% of the people voted against rail. It’s easy to see why. “The anti-rail campaign was ultimately outspent by the City and various rail proponents by a ratio of 100 to 1.” Mineta Transportation Institute - REVISITING FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUCCESS OF BALLOT INITIATIVES WITH A SUBSTANTIAL RAIL TRANSIT COMPONENT 6/11

@@gsn794 It could be worse. Have you heard about the automated people mover project at Los Angeles airport? It's going to be a 2.25 mile long elevated loop that connects six stations with driverless train cars like Skyline's. It was approved in 2018 and was scheduled to be completed in 2023 but the estimated start of service is now in 2026. Also the cost has ballooned to $3.34 billion, which on a per-mile basis is almost three times the currently estimated cost of Skyline.

@@MongooseTales As for “it could be worse,” it could have been much better too. Honolulu - 55mph, 18.9 miles, 19 stations, 20 years, $9.93 billion Nagano to Kanazawa - 160+ mph, 142 miles (60+ miles in tunnels), seven stations, 21 years, $14.2 billion To sum up: Honolulu $525 million per mile, .95 miles per year. Nagano to Kanazawa $120 million per mile, 6.7 miles per year hart estimates the final 1.2 miles and two stations from the imaginary “civic center” to Ala Moana at $1.367 billion, but no funding exists. If they do make it to Ala Moana for a total of $11.3 billion in 203X as per their 6/3/2022 “recovery” plan, the cost will be $565 million per mile, vs the $256 million per mile with an in service date of 1/31/2020, per the original contract with the FTA, signed on 12/19/2012. BTW, the interim opening to the stadium was originally “scheduled” for 2016.
