~~Question: I’ve been riding the bus to/from the same workplace, Monday-Friday, for 22 years. When I got to the bus stop at Olohana and Kalakaua avenues in Waikiki on Monday, Dec. 3, I was surprised to see a notice stating the Nos. 8, 19, 20, 23 and 42 buses did not stop there anymore and riders must go to a stop on Saratoga Avenue. More puzzling, there was a metal sign stating, "Bus Terminus.
Turn Engine Off." Riders were never warned about the change! Omission of the E Express from Waikiki meant my leaving 10 minutes earlier to catch No. 19. Now I have to add five minutes to that.
