Why do people not use public transportation now? Because it's impeded by traffic. People now have about an hour from the Kapolei and Ewa area. In the very short future it will be double that each way. The buses don't have a dedicated lane so they are impeded by the traffic. Have you ever gone to a city and been on their rail system during rush hour? You just breeze past all the people sitting in traffic and get to your destination in more than half the time and without having to deal with headache of driving in backed up traffic. I always use rail when I travel on vacation. It's convenient and inexpensive.
