Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation

Jon Nouchi, Honolulu's director of transit, talks about possibilities for the city's Skyline rail system after several landmark achievements were set in April.

HART CEO Lori Kahikina shares Skyline rail construction updates ahead of a community workshop to discuss the design for the upcoming Iwilei rail station.

While the eastbound extensions of the rail are more highly anticipated, a short segment extending the west side of the rail further into Kapolei could be an easier job.

Deputy Transportation Services Director Jon Nouchi spoke to The Conversation's Catherine Cruz about how ridership has been steadily growing on the rail line with the expanded service.

Segment 2 of Skyline is now open from Middle Street to Aloha Stadium, including the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. HPR rode along and asked riders how they feel about the new addition.

The new segment of the Honolulu rail system opened Thursday morning, adding four new stops, including at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and Joint-Base Pearl Harbor Hickam.

Honolulu Department of Transportation Services Deputy Director Jon Nouchi spoke to The Conversation's Catherine Cruz about the opening of the latest segment of Skyline.

Although she submitted her letter to Mayor Rick Blangiardi early last week, she wrote that she made the decision last month. Hanabusa did not directly address why she was resigning, but she wrote that she has become unable to effectively serve on the board.

HART CEO Lori Kahikina and Project Director Vance Tsuda spoke to The Conversation's Catherine Cruz about community feedback they received from a public meeting in Chinatown. The meeting was the first of many to give the public the chance to discuss the fit and feel of the stations.

Gov. Josh Green discusses the Hawaiʻi Tourism Agency's restructuring, proposed Medicaid cuts; HART officials share progress on the Skyline, which is expected to open its second segment in October
