Fucking Idiot on the radio railing against the rail (no pun intended)…

 Living on an Island has it advantages (can’t name many except very few illegal aliens) and disadvantages (can’t make it bigger).

On Oahu, there are few East-West Routes from town (Honolulu). East: H1 which turns into Kalanianaole Highway and on the west, there’s H1 and Kamehameha (Kam) highway which turns into Farrington highway at the west end of Pearl City.

If there is a accident on h1 in the following locations, the highways are blocked:

East Bound, Any where.

West Bound, Kam and Farrington become blocked. An Extreme Example…  The next morning, there were cars littered all over the highway that had ran out of gas.

The idiot on the radio was saying it’s “time to 86 the rail” and bullshit like this.  Reality is, we can’t make the island bigger, we can’t make the road ways bigger, we can’t ban cars, and adding more buses will only fuck traffic up more.

Seriously, several years ago the bus went on strike and the traffic flowed smother.  The bus fucks up two lane roads when it stops for passengers and no one can pass.

The radio personality was saying that it will cost 1 billion dollars to complete the rail on Oahu, but doesn’t really examine the possibilities.

We can’t make the road wider.

We can only go up or down,

For down, look at Seattle at a cost of $455 million dollar for 1.3 mile, we can’t afford it.  Also for street level rail running, this is worse than The Bus.

The only option is to up.  And with no cars on the up.

Light rail works.  And for the idiots that say it doesn’t, have them explain Singapore.

The locals are fucking idiots.
