However, the six minute walk from the parking lot would no longer be necessary."<br /><br />Slater sure has thick skin to think he can keep spreading manipulated info and proclaim he's doing this for the best interest of the average Oahu citizen. Using his own argument, why does he not factor in the walking time it takes to get to the bus station for C? Or if he is car centric, how about the time it takes to look for parking when one gets to his/her destination?<br /><br />When his own letter explicitly states C takes anywhere from 38 to 52 min to Downtown, he has clearly shown what the problem with express buses have, the time inconsistencies. Successful transit systems have frequency and time schedules down to 3 min or less variance. The train can accomplish this while C does not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
