Sometimes we forget the real purpose of this project: "The City and
County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services (DTS), in
coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal
Transit Administration (FTA), will be preparing an Alternatives
Analysis (AA) and an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to evaluate alternatives that would provide
high-capacity transit service
on O‘ahu.  This is and has always been a transit only project. All of
the available data says very clearly that traffic congestion will be
greater (at several survey points) with rail up and running than it
was when the city engineers took the original surveys (around 2006).
