AMAZING VIEWS!
Well Wayne, I guess you’re older than me. Showbiz pizza?😅
Thanx, Dwayne.
Glad to see your video again! It's a great happiness to live in a land like this. I pray to be there in the future. Be happy, Dwayne!
No definitely not worth it, not worth $3.00. More like $1.50
From a resident’s POV, please allow me to say that every resident is paying for this short ride. Originally, it was supposed to run from Kapolei, through Ala Moana where many residents work, to the University of Hawaii. Presently, it doesn’t even go half way to the originally planned distance. Source for serving the public on Oahu, it’s not. And then there are all of the residents of outer islands, which cannot benefit from this rail at all. They are taxed and paying for rail as well. So from the local POV, it’s really not smiled upon or appreciated by many. Ridership is desperately lower than anticipated by the State “experts.” As you’ve seen, there’s still considerable walking in between stops and destination shopping, restaurants, businesses, etc making rail not that expedient for most of us. But, your video was pretty kind and I’m glad you enjoyed your ride.
Hm. I think Skyline is absolutely worth it. Haha I love the anticipation inducing “are they open?” at the end. Aloha😊
Dwayne! I found out there is a wildfire in Hawaii! Are you ok?
Can you take the Rail from the Airport to Waikiki Beach?!
I lived on Oahu all my life and drove past the building at 3:57 a thousand times but never went inside or knew anything about it being a store probably because the side facing the road had no doors or parking.
Can't wait to go back home and try out the new HART rail. Thanks for the views!
As many videos posted aren't by people who actually use mass transit as their main mode of transportation, this was very refreshing to watch.
Thanks for the unique perspective!
Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa!
Love this. I too use public transportation every day to get to and from work and finally rode the rail last month. This was awesome 🤙🏼
I'm so impressed with your editing! Great video, please make more!
20 years to build a 19 mile above ground rail with a $12.4B price tag. that's over a year per mile to build at a per mile cost of $653M. only three american rail projects will have cost more per mile than the skyline and those projects are below ground subways in nyc and sf.
Like how there are English subnames for some stations. Great views.
This was a great video! Loved how you showed us Honolulu by transit! Music was perfect for it.
We left the island before the rail construction finished! I’m so happy you made a video of this 🎉❤😊
the station sail canopy reminds me of the Expo-Express, still the only tourist railway plied by subway trains that happened to introduce the world's traveling public to robo shuttles (Minirail didn't count)
I definitely remember ShowBiz Pizza before it was Chuck E cheese but the island of Oahu, Hawaii is pretty big. In my opinion I think Waikiki looks like Miami mixed with Los Angeles.
Thank you for being such a joyful transit rider!
This isn’t the only railway on the island. Near the last station in kapolei there’s a railway museum called the Hawaiian railway society. And the train goes through the resort area ko ‘olina and It passes next to the ocean.
