A commuter bus from Wailuku passes by Lahaina as Elsie Rosales travels across the island to her workplace on July 9, 2024. Rosales, who lost her home in Lahaina in the August 2023 wildfire, now lives in Kahului and gets up several hours earlier to make her commute, which includes an hour-long bus ride to Lahaina.
