Going from memory, I think the rail stations will be within 1/2 mile (10 min. walk) of about 40% of all homes on Oahu. This isn’t so unbelievable, when 14% of all housing on the island is in Waipahu.

Overall, 30% of all riders are expected to either walk or cycle to a station (FEIS, pg. 3-46). The stations where more than 3/4 of all riders will walk or cycle are: Ho’opili (77%), Civic Center-South St. (77%), Chinatown (80%), Kakaako (80%), and LCC (89%).

In your particular area, 76% of riders to West Loch, and 73% to Waipahu Transit Center are coming by bus; 7% of all daily riders will board in Waipahu. (She doesn’t know where I live.)
Moreover, the percentage of Waipahu-Waikiki trips by transit is expected to rise from 5% to 35%, a SEVEN-FOLD increase.

Rick Emmerich OK, don’t really know where to start. But these pie in the sky guesses are very optimistic, just not believable. That thousands of people that drive to work every day will now, buy or borrow a bicycle and pedal (sometimes in the rain) to a station where they hope no one messes with their locked bike-to then take the Rail is either going to be the victory for Rail OR the ugly downfall. I suppose I will be driving past these businessmen in their good clothes on bicycles with their attache cases
