But others will find rail as convenient as you find it unworkable. Millions do around the world each day and take grade-separated transit to avoid traffic completely!<br /><br />And no matter how much at-home work grows in the years ahead, the population and traffic will grow faster. Traffic congestion will become worse, and without the rail alternative, there will be NO WAY to avoid it.<br /><br />I urge you to think once again about becoming a rail supporter. Honolulu is perfect for a rail line -- long and narrow, with our population constricted between mountains/ag land and the ocean. Without rail, commuters, students, everyone will be destined to being victims of congestion for decades to come.Doug Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191683240304122047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937602330391830242.post-83913313776985888522010-01-17T10:09:46.513-10:002010-01-17T10:09:46.513-10:00I drive my hybrid to work most of the time. If I ...I drive my hybrid to work most of the time. If I don't catch the bus that's right down the street what makes you think I'm going to catch the rail? Kapolei's building up nicely, more jobs going on that side, people working online and going to school online. If I don't drive in to work, I work remotely at home. Still can't convince me to say YES to the rail. The people in Waianae/Maili still have to find a way to Kapolei to get to the rail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
