Some observations on riding TheBus:…read more When entering a bus with more than half the seats filled, you might notice a natural human tendency for everyone to first take a seat all to themselves. As the bus continues to fill, another common sight is that a fairly large percentage of folks seem to be reserving the double seats for their own use, either by sitting on the aisle side of the seat, or by sitting on the inner side but seeming to block the aisle side with their belongings. Either way, this appears to signal that they're not inviting others to sit next to them. And most seasoned passengers seem to read these behaviors for what they appear to be. Some remain standing even when there are otherwise open aisle seats, making it difficult for newly boarding passengers to navigate around them, especially when those standing choose to do so while blocking the exits. Speaking of "exits," many or most buses have the type of rear doors with yellow strips on both sides, with some version of "Touch Here to Open Door." They also include an image of an open hand - seeming to mean you use your palms to push the doors open. On newer buses with the sensors still working properly, often you can use one finger to press on either yellow strip and the doors will open. But apparently because of abuse over time, for some doors you may need to use some force to cause the mechanism to work. Many ignore the yellow strips and the instructions and just attempt to push the doors open - which sometimes doesn't work at all - and then they may yell to the driver, "Back door!" My suggestion is to first wait for the green light over the exit doors to come on, then use your finger(s) to press on one of the yellow strips, but to smoothly switch to using more force, while still focusing on the yellow strips, if the mechanism has been desensitized. It should almost never be necessary to ignore the yellow strips and push on the doors themselves.

Even though I…read morebooked pretty late and our first choice (the Coors) was already booked weeks out, they came through with "The Beast," and we were able to secure it just three days before our event. An extra shout-out to our driver, Delson; he was an absolute gem. We rented the bus for four hours on a Saturday, and he was incredible at staying in touch and being exactly where we needed him throughout the night. He even circled back to multiple stops when a few people realized they'd left phones or purses on the bus. We didn't have a set route; everyone wrote down a bar, and we spun the wheel roulette-style, which made the night even more fun. We ended up extending the rental by another two hours and would've gone longer if road closures for the marathon hadn't cut us off. Highly recommend OPB and Delson for any group event! We will definitely be booking again.

On the bus the teens got to hookup their bluetooth and play music they enjoyed. OPB Staff- TJ greeted us at the mall and walked us over to arena. pointed out the restrooms nearby. After we all jumped back on the bus to cool off we headed to a park where TJ met us with tables ALREADY prepared with birthday table covers, 4 Large Hot Pizzas, and cold drinks ready for us to enjoy. Our last stop was the cherry on top- Daves Ice Cream Shop (personally my favorite ice cream and its MADE IN HAWAII). Cute little shop & the staff serving was very helpful in getting everyones order and we all sang happy birthday! My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Oahu Party Bus RAZOR cart & nerf Package so much that we went ahead and booked a party for our sons upcoming birthday. The main selling points is the great customer service, curbside service- immediately after exiting bus we were all directed and not lost in the iteniary with 15 teens and some parents, and above all the convenience of booking one package with everything included!! I wont have to set up decorations, pick up refreshments, or drive 25 people over to the west side- but instead sit back and enjoy our kids happiness & excitement! Thank You OPB!

My first ride from the airport to Hoopili. I looked at the uber rate and decided to take the rail…read moreas far as I could and then catch uber. Saved a lot of money. Was difficult to find at first since I was at baggage claim 26 (Delta), and the security told me to "just cross the street and take the elevator to the 4th floor in parking". Which left me on the fourth floor of parking with no rail in sight and no signs directing me to the rail (this would've been helpful). I simply guessed to turn left and walk across the parking lot with luggage and finally found it. Everyone was super helpful. Rail was clean, fast and efficient. Hoopili lot was safe and clean. Will be nice when they extend to Ala Moana. An extension to Kamakana would be great too.

HART = Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation…read more I rode the route between Halawa / Aloha Stadium (Station 9) and Kualaka'i / East Kapolei (Station 1). The elapsed time was about 22min one way--so 44min round trip. I visit Honolulu regularly. I observed with interest as the "Skyline Rail" system was erected--and I read about all of the hiccups that have occurred along the way. Now that Section 1 of the system is operational, I wanted to ride it. I went to an ABC Store and purchased a HOLO card. The "Visitor" version of this mass transit pass is designed for tourists. An adult pass cost less than $10; it is good for one day; and it allows you unlimited access the city's light rail and public bus system for the day. I parked my car at the Park-and-Ride lot at Aloha Stadium and boarded the Skyline. It's interesting that this train does not have a driver on board. It's basically automated, with remote monitoring. There are public safety representatives patrolling each station, and riding the cars, to make sure things go smoothly. The cars have luggage racks; and racks so that people can bring their bikes/e-bikes, scooters--and surfboards. The seats are built for durability but are comfortable. The ride was smooth. The speaker system for announcements was clearly audible. The cars have air-con. This light rail is comparable to systems I rode in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur--and those systems have been widely accepted. So why would I (a tourist) want to ride the Skyline? There is the curiosity factor of wanting to try something while it is new. But in the same way that the Las Vegas Strip is not Las Vegas, Waikiki is not Honolulu. Looking out the window while riding the Skyline allowed me a glimpse of life outside the tourist zone. And you can see a lot from the elevated train. In addition to suburbs, shopping centers and industrial parks: Between Stations One and Four, you can see a lot of agricultural activity; and the interface as new housing developments encroach on ag lands. You can see a new type of faming taking hold: solar farms. Between Station Eight and Nine, you can see portions of Pearl Harbor, the ships in port, and The Pearl Harbor National Monument in the distance. Think of this like the Waikiki Trolly Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour bus; you're just taking a different tour. I look forward to trying Sections Two and Three. P.S. As the City of Honolulu seems to be taking over the Biki bikeshare system, I suggest that they install Biki bike racks at Skyline Rail stations, where feasible.

You don't feel welcomed at all. It's just a job. I I've met much better drivers on the island who transfers handicapped patients with cheerful attitudes. It makes the ride more enjoyable.
