Dear Elected Officials, Journalists and Media Experts,
After the Covid-19 scare and the face masks go away, the fear of infection will linger for a long while. And the threat of another type of infection in a few years is very real... SARS, MERS, H1N1, Covid-19... all came in the last 20 years.
A major question is this: How many people will be willing to use a mode of transportation where others breathe, sneeze and cough 2-3 feet from their face, and should they?

The information above should give you pause. Honolulu Rail has been a massive failure. Continuing it makes it public health enemy number one.
Aloha,
