Keala R. Kaanui, It was a long time ago when Ala Moana Center allowed UH students to park there and catch a bus to campus. That's when Ala Moana Center had lots of empty parking spaces. It's doubtful that the Center would do that now because parking is to tight. You're right that the rail station would increase business for Ala Moana Center. But the business would be more from people taking rail TO Ala Moana Center, not so much from people taking rail FROM there.  So it is doubful that the Center will provide parking for rail passengers.  If you have information to the contrary, please provide it.  Meanwhile, the rail project plans to build park-and-ride facilities at only 4 rail stations, and Ala Moana Center is not one of them.
