Stop building high-speed rail on Oahu ! !

As the subject.
The project is so irresponsible that it is still $ 3 BILLION ( about 320 Billion yen ) under budget, but this project was contracted from its inception so that no one would be held responsible for any delays or budget increases, making it a very lucrative business for the related contractors. This is a very lucrative business for the related companies. The first plan was to have Hawaii's high-speed rail fully open by 2020, but now the full opening of the 21 stations from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center is expected to be delayed to 2031, and the project is now in a state of "can-do" scam.
Lori ・ Kahikina, who was appointed CEO on an interim basis, says that federal funding to date has included a section to "Ala Moana Center Station" and that if this is revoked, federal funding may not be available in the future, but the original However, the CEO's comment is far from common sense, as it is a man-made disaster caused by sloppy planning. ( Typical comment of avoiding responsibility )
Under the severe financial situation of Honolulu, the city of Honolulu has been paying hundreds of millions of blood tax every month to builders, and no one has been arrested even though collusion and bribes are rampant in this project
The luxury condominium complex in the Kakaako area was described in the brochure as "the station will be right in front of it. ! ! Isn't it strange ? that they assume that the railroad will come as part of the wealthy's money-making scheme? If it's not done, real estate values will plummet, so you're just trying
to get it built, no matter what. Let's all speak up to stop this ridiculous project ! !.

Honolulu Railroad Project, Wheels and Some Track Widths Don't Match ・ ・ ・ Opening Delayed Further, 10 More Years?

Rails and wheels are 0.5 inch apart, the work of the chief executive of Polynesia, the South Island 。.

How much money have we wasted so far? Where is it all going?

If construction is stopped now, it would be a waste of money.

It is almost certain that the Kalihi Transit Center will be the first stop.

After that, it depends on the situation.

The railroad is necessary, but there were certainly problems with the method. That said, the part under construction needs to be completed.

I can't allow the wonderful scenery of Hawaii to be changed for the sake of those who plan to make a fortune from the Kakaako concession.

Elevated electric railways do not suit Hawaii. It should be stopped now and the viaduct should be removed.

To begin with, we are time-conscious islanders, so we should just continue to drive slowly through traffic jams as before.

Do you know how much it would cost to take down the elevated section?

I know that if we stop now, that would be a waste of money ?

We can just finish the section under construction now and open it to traffic.

That's the whole point, isn't it?
The idea is that if you don't make it, you will lose a lot of money, so you make it anyway.
It doesn't make sense to build the Olympics anyway because the budget is over budget, without any attempt to hold the people involved accountable.

Don't you think that is the same as saying that if we don't hold the Olympics, there will be a huge deficit, so we will hold the Olympics anyway

You are ignoring the original intention of a festival of peace ?.

It is almost certain that the section being built will be open for business at the end of this year.

> Do you seriously believe in such a schedule ?

How many times has the schedule been postponed ? It is absolutely impossible.
The rail width and the wheel width are different, so
we have to re-lay the rails again. ( It's ridiculous )
There's also the problem of repairing damaged areas on the support columns. They appear to be deteriorating in some places as early as now.
Also, the Olympics are eating up a huge budget by analogy, so
the idea that they must do it because there will be huge penalties if it is not held is wrong
I was just explaining that by analogy.

I also vote that we should quickly stop building the elevated railroad.
Maybe it will still be this way in 10+ years.

Those who drive luxury cars around Honolulu may not understand, but
the rail line will make it possible to travel in
up to 40 minutes, instead of an hour or more by bus.

Those who look down on those who don't have cars may not understand, but there are people who want
the railroads to be opened.

Stop the railroads, you don't know anything about the people who use such public transportation because they are the ones driving cars.

There are people who will be able to reduce their travel time with the opening of the railroad.

If we look at things from our point of view, we would stop the railroad.

People who have work in Waikiki would not use it because it's inconvenient ? Buses are much better.
Of course tourists don't use it either. Of course tourists don't use it, too inconvenient. They use buses, Uber, or cabs. It won't make any profit at all. ?
Who is going to pay for it? ? Taxpayers will pay for it, of course, but isn't that a waste? ? Shouldn't we first question the people who are not taking responsibility for the project

The people gathered here are not making fun of public transportation. But is this elevated railroad profitable?
Or, if it is eventually completed, can the maintenance costs be raised? How much will the taxes go up?
I am just worried about the financial resources.

You are the one who is demeaning the use of public transportation ?
Please spare us your paranoia.
You'll get wrinkles on your face if you're that frustrated. You have no enemies here.

I think it would be better to employ more than one Japanese person in Hawaii's government agencies.
A Hawaiian or an American from the roots cannot do the calculation properly.

A station is going to be built in Kakaako
