I work at the submarine base and welcome the arrival of the rail. It functions perfectly and is less stressful than the H-1 commute I have driven for more than 30 years.
Unfortunately, while the rail starts at 5 a.m., the No. 40 bus that goes past my housing development doesn’t begin to stop at the University of Hawaii- West Oahu station until 7 a.m.
The last express bus (PH8) to the base departs Aloha Stadium at 6:10 a.m. That is likely due to the fact the shipyard’s first shift starts at 6:30.
I represent a key segment of commuters who will pay to ride this first section of rail. I sincerely hope the city quickly acts to maximize bus access to the rail during peak Joint Base commuting hours.
