The current estimate for HART’s construction is north of $12 billion with a doubtful 2031 completion date.
HONOLULU, Hawaii — Back on the mainland, if you climb onto a public bus in a big city, you might call it something fancy like “the Metro.” But on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, home to over two-thirds of the state's population, it’s just TheBus.
Fares on TheBus were recently raised to $3 per rider per trip, but that’s unlikely to boost farebox revenues significantly. TheBus has seen a marked decline in ridership over the last 20 years. Hawaii’s relatively severe COVID-19 lockdown and the decline of Japanese tourism to the island haven’t helped matters.
On Jan. 10, the Washington Examiner traveled from Waikiki to downtown, by Uber, to speak with several experts at Hawaii’s one free-market think tank, the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, about TheBus and several other public transportation-related issues on the island. The troubles with the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, or HART, are well known by transportation experts on the mainland.
