TheBus

House Bill 1486 states that loitering within 20 feet of a bus stop will be considered a disorderly conduct offense. The bill allows law enforcement officers to immediately remove anyone who violates this order.

The city's Skyline rail service will shut down for two weekends starting this Saturday. The Conversation talked to the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services Director Roger Morton about the closure and what's to come next for the rail.

The Honolulu Department of Transportation Services is proposing a $10 increase for adult monthly passes and a $110 increase for annual passes. The passes would cost $90 and $990, respectively. The youth monthly pass would increase from $40 to $45, and the annual pass would jump from $440 to $495.

As the summer comes to a close, thousands of college and private school students will be hitting the road. Roger Morton, director of the city’s Transportation Services, expects a spike in ridership on Skyline and TheBus.

When Honolulu's rail service gets underway, you'll be able to take your surfboard, but not your pet. Those are a couple highlights as city officials prepare for interim service of the rail this summer.

The EXPRESS program aims to increase student ridership on public transportation. The department would then reassign underutilized school buses. The DOE will reallocate up to $4 million for the program.

TheBus on Oʻahu made rides free for a whole week in August. So how did we do? The numbers are in and the city says ridership was better than expected.

State and county transportation agencies will receive more than $55 million in federal money to buy clean energy buses and improve bus facilities.

Prepare yourself. If you are on the road on Oʻahu next week, expect delays as 50,000 more motorists hit the road. Jon Nouchi, deputy transportation services director for the City and County of Honolulu, rode TheBus to his interview with The Conversation and shared tips for commuters.

Riders will need to have HOLO cards to participate, which is how the city will evaluate the program. Free fares will last from Aug. 22 to Aug. 26, which coincides with the return of students to University of Hawai‘i campuses, back-to-school jam, and O‘ahu private schools.
