Manu of Hawaii's current issues are reflective of its past history. In the case of the Honolulu Rail, there are many sides concerning this issue. The side that I agree on is the Arguments against the Honolulu Rail because looking through my research I was very convinced that with the new addition to Oahu the effects on traffic stays the same, financing will increase our taxes, it increases more of the geographic area, increase are concerns of Oahu's environmental and heal issues. Over all the rail won't make much of big difference or increase for Oahu's traffic, financing, geographic, and environmental issues.

-The rail was build to decrease cars on the road however the statistics shows that the decrease by only 1 to 3%
- It is to be assumed that the rail would be powered by fossil fuel, Oahu's electric comes from petroleum products being burned, and a small fraction of the power is created by burning trash, so concluding the rail may not have a positive effect for our air.
-In addition the rail being built as certain transit across the island and for certain people to reach the transit require the bus, however if the rail replace certain of the bus stops it leads for people to highly travel in a car.

With funding for the rail the government is planing to increase the city revenues and city taxes if necessary. Also increasing fares will possibly reduce less people riding the rail.

-Statistics have shown that i 2005 the traffic vehicle that have traveled for miles a day is to only decrease 1.2 percent involving the rail, also it shows that with the present bus system involved it would be 2.6 percent.
-With fewer bus miles it will overall not decrease traffic significantly, it is assumed that most rail users would be former bus riders and with the limited stops it would be difficult for certain people who needs to get off at certain stops and would still need to catch bus at the end.

The new transportation on Oahu is so called "fatting up" the southern Oahu and in my opinion destroying the beauty of Oahu. As tourist enter Oahu you see an enormous pear shaped area from Ewa to Central.
